| W/S. BJ. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X4214 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/LG13.6.23. HISPANO SUIZA. Referring to the attached ref. Cxl2/CWl1.6.23. We have not had an Hispano Suiza car through our hands. We suggest it might be policy to obtain this car. The Hispano seems to be a car which can be considered a competitor to the 40/50 H.P., especially on the Continent. If you are agreeable, we could take this matter up with R.{Sir Henry Royce} when we see him on Monday next. We feel sure, however, that he will not consider it worth while spending much money on it.
