X3743 We should like you to confirm that it is now definitely agreed that you can and will dispose of the Landaulette Body ordered for 5.EX Car experimental car. We should also like to remind you that we have the old 6-cylinder Buick Car and the 12-cylinder Packard Car which we are anxious to dispose of. Will you please let us know when it will be convenient to send these cars to London for you to get rid of them. We are also proposing to get rid of one of the 40/50 experimental cars. Now that 5.EX is complete we can do this. The chassis we propose to get rid of is 2.EX. This car has run about 24,000 miles. At present it is fitted with an old second-hand Cabriolet body. It has "B" steering. We should like to know from you under what condition you propose to dispose of this car - as a chassis or with the body. The body of course, is an old "crock".
