re Cadillac.

As it is important that this car should be available for comparison purposes with SpectreCodename for Phantom III, I should be glad if you would let me know how soon it will be again in running condition.
I find that the chassis was sent to Derby as long ago as the 8th February which means that it has been with you for 13 weeks.
