Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}
To Wsx. from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}

I will arrange within the next day or so to take C.& Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} out with me on the car and compare it with standard and let you know whether we think we could now pass it for the whole of "O" Series.

I will also of course arrange for PN.{Mr Northey}, Bn.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} and Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} to try the car from the point of xxxx view of the steering etc.

When I think of what 58-GN used to be like when I first had it complete with roar, noise, fuss and boom, and what it is like to-day, I realise the tremendous advance that has been made.

It is quite a different car to drive from all points of view.

It has a light and airier feeling and I appreciate all that has been done and I congratulate you and others concerned on the results achieved.

Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}
