Rootes for Prince Alexis Midivani. With reference to memo. D/BP/HD{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy}6/WS.18.3.32. and BY/Cgh{W Clough}2/G.24.3.32. there is nothing we can do in the way of special tuning for the 100 miles per hour specified. We can only undertake to give the performance obtained by the standard Continental type model. If any increase over this is required it will be necessary to depart from standard, and if anything is required in this connection, it is a matter for the consideration of Sales and Experimental Dept.
