| BJl from R.{Sir Henry Royce} c. to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} +7770 RL/M22.6.28. CAR FOR HENDON. X.180 X.7770 X.2064 We should like to use the sports car. I believe it would do a lot more good than harm. You will remember that the one that was broken up in France was used last year, and created a great impression of interest. Probably you also know that there are several copies of this car that one meets on the road, on our chassis. They are carried out I think with less skill than our model. Naturally we shall be guided by your better judgement. The party will probably consist of Mr. Ricardo, Mr. Elliott and myself. I shall expect to see Fl. CWB. RG.{Mr Rowledge} and Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} at the Pageant. We should like Dodd to drive us, and I am writing to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} about it. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
