X8940c +7830 The remains of this car which was smashed in France are now back at the Works. The body is entirely scrap. We have little doubt that the Insurance Co. will agree that it is a complete write-off. We therefore require another body for this car. We would suggest that we obtain a small sports saloon made to WW. dimensions and scheme. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
