| S/W Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}..from C. C10/C11.10.33 Confirming our conversation on the telephone this morning, thanks for letting us have your Open Bentley, which will help us out. I understand that you will send your man up for it on Saturday morning. Perhaps you will give him instructions to collect it from Lillie Hall. Do you propose letting us have it back again on Monday, because we should find it very useful during the Show if you could? We are up to our eyes in Trial runs. I shall be interested to hear the result of the run you are giving to Mr. Geoffrey, Summers, and I am having a chassis tentatively reserved for him. Perhaps you might tell him, if he decides to have a car, that it would be better for him to communicate direct with us. C. | ||
