Barker's are asking whether we can let them have this car so that they may fit a new type Locking Device to the sliding glasses at the back of the driver, as they are anxious to obtain experience with the new fitting. Is the car likely to be in London in the near future please? We do not think it is worth while sending it down here specially to have the new fitting put on the window, particularly as we could probably find another car on which the device could be tried.
