With reference to memo. BJ2/Hl.7.24. enclosing copy of memo. from Paris - Re. "Super Rolls-Royce".

As Mr. T. Buxareo heard of the new car at Easter this year - the only car which was away at that time was the one which PN.{Mr Northey} took to the Riviera. The only car with an EAC. engine which has gone to France, is the one taken over by PN.{Mr Northey}

Two standard 40/50 HP. cars fitted with 4-wheel brakes were taken to Le CanadelHenry Royce's French residence but they were simply standard cars.
