| 600 SECRET. W/S. {Derby Works / Sales} Cx. {Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} from Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 5/R.6.7.38. With reference to Cx {Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} 6/KW.4.7.38., in view of the difficulties attendant upon handing over a Wraith car to Sales' Dept. and the importance of getting some mileage on Wraith cars prior to their introduction, we have arranged with Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} to run the car which we propose to hand over to Sales to and from Crewe for transport until you are ready for it. The body has been renovated by Sanderson & Holmes, but some work will almost certainly be required on it later, but, at the moment, we believe it is more important to get running experience. Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
