Replying to Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}4/RW.1.3.6. Mx.{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer} is dealing with 24-EX. We do not think it can possibly be available by the second week in March. The reason we say this is because, having decided in favour of the Stromberg carburetter for production, we are trying to get these parts fitted to any further cars for demonstration purposes. It is doubtful whether the parts will be available until the middle of this month. The same remarks apply to 33-EX. You may be certain that we are doing the best we can, and that as soon as a car is available you shall have it. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
