S/W. {Sales / Derby Works} 4-Goshawk-II Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 5/LG29922 Unfortunately this car did not arrive in London in time to allow of our doing very much to smarten it up. We had the upholstery cleaned and one or two small matters attended to, but it was not possible to do anything in connection with re-painting. The car is at present being used for demonstration purposes in London, and it is not possible at the moment to say when we shall be able to spare it for finishing. We are returning Mason's book of colours her with, and in the meantime have noted that when the re-painting is undertaken the colour us to be Burnt Turkey Umber as appearing on Page 15. Enc.
