| To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from BJ. BJ23/H27.8.25. Re 10,000 Miles 'India' Test. x5840 R 1. CWB. will make arrangements direct with you in regard to meeting the car in France to start the 8000th and 9000th miles. 2. During the 8/9000 miles, CWB. will be able to take the place of one driver, but in case of CWB's illness or anything preventing his driving, will you have enough drivers available if you send one back to Derby? If not, please do not send one back to Derby. 3. During the last 1,000 miles, CWB. will take complete charge, and no staff will be required, beyond a driver from London, whom CWB. will arrange for, and a mechanic, who you should please leave there in case of a breakdown. Should you wish to leave any clerk or other official behind to finish up the job, you will make your own arrangements in this respect. B.J. | ||
