| 9, TANKEVILLE TERRACE, RICHMOND. WENSLEYDALE-UPTON-LANE, TELEPHONE PUTNEY 149 Hornet is an unstable car, and am trying to get bought out by the insurance Co instead of having it re-built. If I succeed in arranging this, I will be on the look out for another car. I understand the "Alfa Romeo" may be available soon and would like to discuss this when I see you on Monday. My brother's latest effort is a Wizard, he has put the engine into a Lancia chassis and it is a 100% job. Yours sincerely, Ranald W Hawker | ||
