12-EX CAR. x7940

We anticipate that 12-EX will have completed 9,000 miles running either on Tuesday or Wednesday next (24th./25th. Aug.)

When that mileage is completed there are several experiments which we wish to carry out on the steering. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} is going to Chateauroux next week and we anticipate he will require the car until the end of the month. Afterwards we will hand the car over to you. If you are staying on in France you could get in touch with Rn.{Mr Robinson} at :-

Hotel de France,
Chateauroux,
Indre,
France.
