| x788 Bt.{Capt. J. S. Burt - Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/KT. 21.4.33. Many thanks for Bt{Capt. J. S. Burt - Engineer}9/AL. 20.4.33. We will arrange to have a car ready to meet you at Brooklands any time during the first week in May, and should be glad if you would fix up a provisional date with your brother during this week and let us know. You mention another sports car, actually the most interesting car from our point of view is the Speed 20 Alvis, because it is much more in our class than a semi racing car. If it is possible to get hold of an up to date model, it would be intensely interesting to us. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
