| Kind if you have a minute to spare when the Car is there have a look at it. His Chauffeur will bring it by name Bainbridge, young, broad Yorkshire, (but I think confidentially a damned bad mechanic) Of Course if anybody had time to tell Bainbridge what has caused it, I am Sure it would be very greatly appreciated. Tommy has absolutely no complaint about the Car he is absolutely delighted with it, he Seems to think the trouble may have been Caused by his treading on the "one shot" pedal too often, is that possible? I am so sorry to bother you with details but I should be so grateful if you could keep an eye on it. He has had no more trouble with Valve springs. M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} Ward went to France alright. Yrs. Sincerely Rothes. | ||
