| I. M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} W. Please let me have 660 necessary information. S/W. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} WXA-5. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Cx{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}15/KW12.12.38. This, as you know, was 26-G-VI. We are proposing to sell this car because it has already done according to the speedometer over 40,000, and furthermore the body is not of standard design. Would you kindly let us know from your records what mileage has been run by the important units of this car, such as engine, gearbox, back axle, steering and front suspension, and also when the car was first put into use. This information will help us not only to assess the proper selling price for the car, but will enable us to give correct information to the purchaser and defeat somewhat the impression he will gain from the speedometer reading.
