10,000 MILES TEST ON 20 HP.
CAR IN FRANCE. X5770

It will be at least 2 weeks before the 20 HP.
car is ready to leave for France.

For its first run it is proposed that it should
go to Le CanadelHenry Royce's French residence.

As regards the particular job you mentioned to
me on the telephone. We suggest that it might be arranged
for 11-EX car to be used for this purpose. We understand
that PN.{Mr Northey} is taking this car to France and it might be that
the extra run across France could easily be fitted in.

On the Experimental Dept. 10,000 miles test cars
it would mean a certain amount of dealy to tour across
France.
