In reply to your memo Sn{Mr Sanderson}23/LJ18813, we wish to state that we have taken this matter up with Mr Hives and he informs us that just before the car was despatched a new dashboard and experimental coil box were fitted to the car and that the chassis number plates were not changed over. The whole occurence was quite of an exceptional nature, and the whole job was done in a great hurry. We do not think such a thing is likely to happen a second time. p.
