ORIGINAL

Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 2/LG31.5.24.

4-Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine))-11 Car. L4219

Rg. {Mr Rowledge} has told us that you suggest you might try 4-G-11 car again fitted with semi-balloon tyres.

This car, for some time, has been loaned to the Sales Dept. They asked for it because they wished to loan it to the Maharaja of Patiala.

If you wish, we could see whether the car is actually being used by Sales, or we could make some other arrangements with them so that you could have 4-Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine))-11.

Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}
