S940a It was agreed by R.{Sir Henry Royce} that we should start off the next 'Phantom' on 10,000 miles test and not wait for the final lightened front axle. It is therefore our intention to try and get this car away from Derby by the end of this week. It will then be sent to WW. and afterwards can be tried by London before it leaves for France.
