Re: 19-EX.

I have been trying for some time to persuade Mr. Fairey to purchase one of the latest "Phantom" cars. He has not yet driven a Rolls-Royce car with a Synchro Mesh box and Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} has agreed, if convenient to you, that I can give Mr. Fairey a run on 19-EX on its return from France.

Could you please let me know when the car is likely to be back in this country and if you could spare it for a short time?
