| S/W Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X8724 C8/C16.8.27 The following is copy of a telephone message received from R.{Sir Henry Royce} in regard to 10-EX, blue sports car:- "There is no hurry about this matter, but assuming BJ. will be returning to London today with 10-EX and that Dodd is still with it, I think it would be advisable to send it down to WW. as on account of the hurried criticism that I made on friday last, and before recommending any modifications, I should like to see it again. It is understood that this type of car is to take the place of the old London to Edinburgh. It is produced on somewhat the same lines, but with a slightly different object. When we have got it to a somewhat more advanced degree of perfection we would like CWB., and other members of our Sales staff to test it" I presume you will send the car at once. C. | ||
