X7770 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}4/LG3.4.28. 12-EX - PHANTOM FOR 10,000 MILES. 78940C We are arranging for this car to cross over on the 16th. We have heard from R.{Sir Henry Royce} that he would like to see it before he leaves Le CanadelHenry Royce's French residence. R.{Sir Henry Royce} anticipates leaving Le CanadelHenry Royce's French residence on the 23rd. April, so that there will be just time for him to examine the car before he leaves. It is very doubtful whether the car will be finished in time for Sales to be able to run it any distance in London before it crosses over. We should like to arrange, if this is the case, that CWB. tries the car at Derby. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
