| S/W. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X8774 CWB4/GM/31.12.27. Re: Chassis No. 10-EX. I have your memo Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/LG23.12.27 regarding this car. I am sorry it will not be possible for you to send it to London immediately, but hope you will advise us as soon as you are in a position to do so and will then be able to spare it for a sufficient length of time for us to obtain a really proper impression of the car, which you will agree cannot be gained in a few hours only. I had been under the impression, from our latest conversation regarding this matter, that it was in a considerably more advanced state than you now advise and hope that the work you still have to do on it will not entail any very considerable delay.
