| x8993 HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} To Na.{Mr Nadin} From BJ. Testing of Sports No.1 in USA. Copy to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} With reference to Na{Mr Nadin}4/W5.1.28, in view of our conversation and the secret letter I have written to Mr. Fuller, of which you have a copy, I presume this matter of sending a Sports car to America will remain in abeyance? In any case we shall not have a Sports chassis available for this purpose for some considerable time as we had not contemplated supplying an extra one for testing in America during this winter. It would, therefore, hardly seem worth while as the Sports car has relatively very few new features on it. BJ. | ||
