Re: Continental Phantom.

On your return, I should be glad if you would kindly let me know whether it is practicable for the 10,000 miles 'Phantom' to remain in France for a little while for the purpose of giving Demonstration Runs to A.R.R.(F). Ltd. Clients. I suppose a good deal depends on its condition at the end of the 10,000 miles.

As regards the car being prepared for the P/W. visit, we have in mind that immediately after his visit the car should come to London and be put in the Showroom here as we want to have something to shew prospective purchasers as soon as possible, and the idea would be to book Demonstration Runs and use the car alternatively for this purpose and the Showroom.

Do you see anything to prevent our having it for this purpose on the 22nd?

Would you please let me know how soon the third chassis will be ready to go to Jarvis.
