Further to your Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry{Shadwell Grylls}5/KT16-12-31 and with reference to our telephone conversation of this afternoon, we are glad to say that we have been able to arrange for all the cars you mention except the Panhard and Hupmobile, to be available for you to try on Monday afternoon next. Barkers will arrange to have examples of the M.G. Mark 11.and 1932 Buick at their Showrooms at 66, South Audley Street, and Hoopers will have examples of the Nash, Packard, and Auburn at their Showrooms in St.{Capt. P. R. Strong} James's Street. The Nash will be available at 2-30 p.m., the Packard at 3 p.m. and the Auburn at 4 p.m. We have not yet got times for the M.G. or Buick but we hope to have them on Monday morning when we understand you will call here. There is still a chance that we shall be able to get hold of a Packard and Hupmobile but we are afraid you cannot count on either. Hn.{F. C.
