| 43873 To Sr. (Paris). From Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Les. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Les.26/MJ.10.8.34. Re. your Sr.1/Crn.8.8.34. The parts for Dubonnet are well in hand, but as they are such large chunks of metal we cannot hope to get them until after the holidays. However i will keep your note by me so as to urge the bits along. It appears to be no use sending the car until the pieces are ready. The car is actually in use daily so we do not want to send it until such time that Dubonnet can work on it usefully. Will you please let us know how soon after receiving the car Dubonnet will require the car. You probably realise that the chassis is fitted with a body. Does Dubonnet want the car complete?.
