Thanks for Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/ML.13.12.40. We are noting you will require this car for about three weeks. Re. a 3½ litre Saloon, we cannot, at the moment, put our hand on one at all. We have had 2/3 enquiries recently for one of these and have so far not been successful in finding one to meet these enquiries. We have nothing, of course, of our own. I will, however, pass your note through to DH.{D. Henderson - Showroom} to keep a look-out for one, and let you know if anything comes along. Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} Slub | ||
