| To C. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X180 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/LG2.6.28. LORD WARGRAVE'S TRIP. X7770 We are quite in agreement for Lord Wargrave to use 8-EX car - it undoubtedly has a better vision. Mr. Royce's car however is not as you imagine - Sedanca type - it has windows in the rear quarter. At present you have 8-EX car in London. We should like to have it back as soon as possible as there are one or two items we could fit to it which could be usefully run on this trip. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
