| Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re Cars for Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} & Lp.{Mr Lappin} Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}12/E14.5.34 Copy to WGT. I am in receipt of Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}7/WJ.10.5.34 and note that it will suit you better to hand over the open Bentley car and this will be in 5 or 6 weeks' time from the date of your memo. This will suit quite well except that it will mean removing the body as Lp.{Mr Lappin} does not want an open body, and perhaps the best way will be for you to keep it at Derby as you may want another open car later on.
