S/W. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} GRY{Shadwell Grylls} x360 re- 35-EX. Cx{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}2/KW14.5.36. This car has now been returned to you. You will, we hope, still regard it as a Sales Dept. car and not an Experimental Dept. car. By this we mean that as soon as you are able to bring this car up-to-date and in line with production models we should like to have it back, and that of course as soon as possible. Having had experience with 34-EX, which should guide you to some extent in being able to estimate the time necessary to modernise this car, I hope you may be able to tell us without much delay when we can expect it back.
