| HK.{Col. T. Harker - Sales} Paris from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 45840 S E C R E T, 9-G-111. 1677 Hsl/LG17. 6. 25. Referring to HK{Col. T. Harker - Sales}14/Dn/AW15. 6. 25. It is not our intention to bring back the above car for some time. So far, the car has only completed approx. 3000 miles and it is most probable that we shall keep it out there after it has completed 10,000 miles. We cannot see any reason why Croyden should not keep you posted right up to date with the movements of the cars at Chateauroux. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
