re P.III; 33-EX.

Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}9/E22.10.35

Referring to the above car which went to Paris for the Show, when I was over there Sr. had a good many criticisms and I asked him to set these out in a memo. as soon as the Show was over. I enclose copy herewith.

The car is now back at Derby. I will not stress the points by any further comments but should like to go through the main items when I am next at Derby.
