Dear Robotham, We will by all means have a 10-h.p. available for your Managing Director, by Friday 17th November, and we should certainly be most interested to try a Wraith at the same time. Will you let me know what arrangements you propose for taking over the car? The 10-h.p. will be filled with proper petrol - if it is refilled with this pool fuel the ignition should really be altered. Yours sincerely, S.B.Wilks S.B.Wilks. | ||
