| To HK{Col. T. Harker - Sales} - Paris. From Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X677 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/LG1.1.25. X677 X9941 Many thanks for your memo. HK{Col. T. Harker - Sales}10/DN22.12.24. We should like to know in detail what we have to do to get a car into France under the Touring Acquit scheme. Do we have to consign the car to you in Paris, or can we drive the car across France? We should be greatly obliged if you could give us complete details and, if possible, send us copy of forms which have to be filled in. In case the Administration still decide that they would still prefer to pay duty on the car, could you please let us have particulars of the procedure and what forms have to be filled up. It may happen that we should have to give more particulars if we pay duty, than if we went in under the Touring Acquit. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
