| S/W. To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X8770 8.40 28/9/26 PN{Mr Northey}5/EH.27.9.26. I have today sent to you by road to Derby 8-EX, Experimental Saloon. I had great trouble with the balloon tyres on this car in coming up from Chalon to Paris. We had no spares, we had to get tubes into covers, and we had to take a taxi in Paris because the car had no tyres. PN.{Mr Northey} W.H. | ||
