I will get out a suitable outline drawing of the Eight and let you have in due course. I would ask you to treat the information regarding this engine confidentially as it is not expected to be put on the market for at least 12 months. In view of your remarks about oil filters, I have asked Mr. Worth of British Filters to see you in the immediate future. I had a most excellent shoot on Saturday under the most perfect weather conditions. I must thank you for the very excellent lunch you gave me on Friday. Yours sincerely, | ||
