Old Cars. With reference to old cars, I should most certainly sell the old Daimler and Wolseley, but I think we ought to keep the Lanchester, unless we have a new Lanchester. I should propose that the present Lanchester be sent to Mr. Barrington at Walmer. R.{Sir Henry Royce} [Signature] [Handwritten on left margin: X/1130] [Stamp: W.M. 20 JUL 1914] CJ14/IW18714 Old Cars.
