Sn{Mr Sanderson}5/DL29914. X180 Mr. Platford advises that you have this car, which you are prepared to dispose of if sale can be effected. Do you particularly wish to dispose of this, as we do not know at the moment of any particular desire of Sales Department to have this secondhand car. It is possible, however, that if we are successful in securing further orders from the War Office or the Admiralty Office it may be useful. Kindly advise what you propose, and if for sale, what you estimate the value of the chassis after it has been overhauled. We also understand that there is an L-E type body ex Salamanca. Perhaps you will kindly say if you wish to dispose of this also, and the price.
