Mr. Dodd from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} With reference to inner tubes, it is just as cheap for you to purchase these at Hyeres as for us to bring them out. If it is necessary for you to have them, I should buy them and charge it up. Attached is a list of Garages where you are supposed to be able to obtain Wakefields 'XL' motor oils. We have found this oil to be equally as good as Prices. It is a compound oil similar to Prices. We recommend that you run on this oil. We should like you to let us know if you have any difficulty in obtaining it. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
