S/W. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. to Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} URGENT Cx{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}21/KW30.9.35. With reference to the 20/25 with Enclosed Limousine which you require for experimental purposes in connection with an engine which you wish to fit and be able to run without delay, it would appear that there is a car of this type, chassis No. GAE-20, at present in the Repair Department at W. and from which the engine has been removed for the purpose of fitting to a customer's car. It was intended to put into this chassis the engine taken from the customer's car, which was not satisfactory to him. This seems to be an ideal opportunity for you to have this car without its engine, which appears to us to be exactly what you want. Will you please let us know if this car will do. Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} | ||
