Mr. Royce the other day said that he thought the
Delage ought to go back to be sold as soon as possible. Presumably
you will be bringing down a car before long and then you might take
the Delage back again. I say this because I think it ought to
go back to Derby to receive a little attention before it is sold.
There is for instance a strap on the starter motor which as far as
I know has been broken all the time, and one or two other small
points need attention.
Perhaps you would let me know if you are likely to
bring a car down at all soon, because if there is going to be much
delay I expect I ought to take some other steps.
