Car for Lord Wargrave. ----- Thanks for your Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/MS23.4.30 and I will let you have further particulars in due course. It may be we shall have the German Demonstration car in the neighbourhood that we may be able to use. In the meantime will you please let me know what kind of a car it is.
