I note you think a 4 1/4-litre car will do and we happen to have one left. This car we have just spent quite a bit of money on to make it fit for sale. The number is B-24-GA.

Would you like me to send it up to Derby at once? This car belonged to Raymond Mays in the first place and was eventually transferred to the School.

I hope you will take as much care of the coachwork as you can, because we are finding it impossible to get any work done nowadays.
