| To BJ. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} c. to C. 480 A180 X7770 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/LG25.2.28. BJ14/E24.2.28. We have no intention of sending an experimental car in the direction of Spain. The car we have running in France we expect will be ready for Sales to take on in about 10 days time. This car, being an open sports type, we should not think it very suitable for Lord Wargrave. The next car which is being sent to France will be 12-EX. The programme for this car is that it will go to Le CanadelHenry Royce's French residence and afterwards complete a 10,000 miles test. This car is also an open touring car and not one we should recommend Lord Wargrave to use. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
