RE. 10,000 MILES TRIAL CAR.
CJ6/E31.12.19.

With regard to the trials Car which is to run 10,000 miles in France, it is possible for us at the present time to reserve 150 litres, to be kept in Paris, but, on account of the floods, and the general difficulties of transport, it is quite impossible for us to guarantee that, during the Winter we may always be able to hold 150 litres at the disposal of the car, but, we shall naturally do everything we can towards this end.
