| X4482. To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} re Alfa Romeo. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}3/Ell.12.31 Just a note to put on record the fact that the idea in purchasing this and as agreed by R.{Sir Henry Royce} was that we should only want to retain it for a short time. The more quickly we can release it, the less money we are likely to lose on it. I will write to you in 2 or 3 weeks' time to find out how soon you think we can have it back with a view to its sale.
