slightly higher radiator would improve it, though I doubt whether this is practicable.

I hear the Lagonda is a better car than one would imagine, with the same or better performance than the Bentley, but Guy Knowles and I are trying one shortly and will be able to give you an unbiassed opinion of it, if it interests you.

Many thanks for the offer of loan of a car. I shall look forward to this though there is no hurry.

I don't know whether the above is of any interest to you. Its what the outside world are saying.
