| x788 Bt.{Capt. J. S. Burt - Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/KT.12.4.33. Thank you for your Bt{Capt. J. S. Burt - Engineer}4/AL.5.4.33. It would certainly be interesting to try the cars you mention at Brooklands, and we will let you know when we will be ready for a meeting down there. At the moment we think it will be about the end of this month. We should certainly be most interested in the 2.3 litre Alfa Romeo, as the one we had was only 1.75 litres, but you could probably best judge whether it would be policy to let Mr. Lionel Martin see the Bentley.
