X.3500 - RE "DELAGE" CAR

With reference to the Delage Car, it is a proper bunch of trouble. The engine at present is quite dismantled. We shall have to fit new bearings, new piston rings and new tappet ends.

If youintend to come to Derby, the best time for you to come to see the guts of the thing will be this week-end.

EH.
