Thank you for your Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/KT.12.4.33. I met my brother at Brooklands on Monday. He was just starting for the Monte Carlo Races but said he would be back about the 28th or 29th. He informed me that he would be able to produce the 2.3 litre Alfa Romeo without Mr. Lionel Martin. He also mentioned the possibility of getting hold of another car of the sports type and of a somewhat similar cylinder capacity. Bt.{Capt. J. S. Burt - Engineer} [Stamp: RECEIVED 24 APR 1933] | ||
