Cox - Advertising Manager}4/KW12.2.36. re- Phantom III Demonstration Cars. As you know, we have one car at present - 35-EX - which is at present on the Continent and we are without a car in London. You have expressed the view that we could probably have 34-EX back for demonstration work about the second week in March, and during the interim of course we are piling up a long list of people who wish to try it. We are now asked by Export Dept. to arrange for a P.III Demonstration Car to go abroad again on the 20th March to the Geneva Show, which will take about 10 days. Do you think it is possible in these circumstances to arrange that by 20th March you could let us have a second car, so that we could do the Geneva Show job as well as continue with demonstration work in this Country ? We should of course prefer a car of the Continental type for the Geneva Show, either like 33 or 35-EX. Would you please let me know what prospects there are of your being able to help us in this way.
