Will all concerned make a note to let me know when they propose visiting outside firms, and also, when representatives of outside firms are likely to be visiting the Works on their behalf. It should further-more be remembered that the Wraith is a completely new model; if information regarding it begins to circulate in the trade, existing 25/30 sales are likely to suffer thereby.
