| To HK.{Col. T. Harker - Sales} Paris. From Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X677 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/LG9.4.25. TESTS ON CARS IN FRANCE. We regret that we have not replied to your HK{Col. T. Harker - Sales}24/DN25.3.25. We have no intention of moving cars on the Touring Acquit in and out of France without going through you. As regards taking cars into France, there is no difficulty. When cars come back from France, we recommend that Croyden should be instructed to let you know when we propose bringing the cars back to England. He is on the job and knows immediately this is decided upon. If for any reason we wish to have the car back in a hurry, we at Derby are apt to forget to let you know. We will, however, in future, endeavour to do this. We anticipate it will be 14 days or so before we shall wish to bring 98-NK car back again into France. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
