| BJ. from EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} Mr. Warwick Exp. Dept) To X4086 & Mr. Hallam " " } note.EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}7/H31.3.22. Re. 3 - Goshawk II. (Limousine). ----------------------------------- With reference to your BJ10/H29.3.22, we will arrange for this car to be delivered to Conduit Street on Thursday morning, April 13th. Hallam will come with the car and has instructions to be in attendance as required, and as was arranged during the last visit of this car to London, will you please see that he is kept in touch with its movements so that he can keep his records and log book up-to-date. As explained to you on the 'phone this morning, we cannot guarantee that this car can be modernised to the extent as is now being done on the 10,000 mile trials cars, but as far as possible we will fix up the car so that its general performance and appearance compares with these cars. We shall be glad to have your opinion and the opinion of members of Sales Department of this car, and if favourable also CJ's and other directors, as we intend to deliver this car to you in a condition which will give a really good performance and certainly give some idea of what we expect from the standard Goshawk II. If between now and Easter we find that we do not think the car will be as favourable in its performance and appearance as we at present intend it to be, we will let you know. EP.{G.
