| [Handwritten: X9770] To CWB. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c.c. to C. c.c. to Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}10/LG31.12.24. 48-PK CAR. [Handwritten: X9770] We are returning this car to you tomorrow ready for sale. There are one or two coachbuilders modifications which must be made before the car is sold. At present there is a pressure pump and pressure gauge on the instrument board. These are not in use because the car is fitted with an autovac. These fittings should be removed and a new instrument board will have to be made. There is also a windscren wiper which does not appear to work and which we think should be removed. We are instructing our driver to take this car to Lillie Hall and leave it there. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} [Watermark: DICKINSON BOND] | ||
