| S/W. (Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}) x7770. Whr{Mr Wheeler}5/D4.11.29. At the lunch to the Retailers during Olympia Show, Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} spoke about our having lapped Brooklands on Phantom II at 85 miles per hour, and I understood him to say that we had a certificate to that effect. Can you please confirm this, and let me know if a copy of the certificate can be obtained? It would be most useful when dealing with enquirers who ask about speeds of Phantom II. Whr.{Mr Wheeler} | ||
