These figures seem somewhat inexplicable in view of the disparity of the power weight ratio between the two vehicles.

If Hall's car is still in existence, it would be most interesting if one of your representatives could take it for a run and record his impressions of it, because by its records it must be no less remarkable than the "vintage" 8-litre, which has created so much interest.

A comparison with the 3-litre would also be extraordinarily informative.

Yours faithfully,
