| 43873 W/P {Derby Works / Production} - Sr. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Les.20/KW.28.10.34. 19-G-IV with Dubonnet. We have had no news from Dubonnet about the above car. As his 14 days is now overdue, can you find out what the position is? I intend to come over and try the car with Dubonnet before bringing it back to England, so that he can give us information of his road experiences. Mind you make him drive the car over a bad road first, as I have no wish to die this year! Thanks for all you did for me when I was in France this last time. I have written to Dubonnet to-day enquiring about the car. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Les. | ||
