| W/S To C. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X3525 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}3/LG25.11.21. I am very interested to know what has happened as regards the Delage Car. We spoke to Mr. Royce about this matter when we were with him and he was quite agreeable for us to buy the "Delage" when he heard that we were disappointed in the performance. It might be advisable to let PN.{Mr Northey} try this Car before we have it at Derby. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
