S/W. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 7960. Whr{Mr Wheeler}/GST{G. S. Townsend}23/WP.10.10.33 1458 L RECEIVED 11 OCT 1933 re: Chassis No. 104-MY - Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}'s car We understand that you have this car at Derby. We have in London a gentleman who is buying a 20/25 h.p. very shortly to take out to South Africa with him, and he is having a body especially designed by Messrs. Freestone & Webb. He wishes the coachbuilders, in their design for this body, to follow the lines of the rear part of Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}'s car and he would like an opportunity of examining this car when it is next in London. Will you please therefore give us an idea when 104-MY will be available.
