re: WXA-37 - Demonstration Saloon Car.

For the week-end starting Friday, 21st July, we are possibly loaning this car to a Mr. H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} S. Linfield, the motoring critic of 'The Autocar', and Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} is very anxious that this car should be quite up to date and the performance above criticism.

We are therefore arranging to send the car to you on Monday next, the 17th, and would like it returned to us not later than Thursday afternoon, the 20th.

DH.{D. Henderson - Showroom}
