| X4553. To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re Bensport. Copy to Wbr. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}5/E2.2.33 Would you please let me know how soon you will be able to get this car to France? I was pleased to hear that it was going to Brooklands to-day instead of next week so that, as far as I know, the only thing which can delay it is the fitting of the new brackets in connection with equalisers or brake rods or whatever it is that is necessary to give us back the foot wells for the rear part of the car. In view of the decision taken to go ahead, it is very important that the test should be under way as quickly as possible. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
