| V5840 S/W (Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}) CWB8/LH{Mr Haworth}16.8.25. REF: AJ2/H14.8.25. Can you now advise me approximately when this car will have completed 7,000 miles running, and will be ready for me to continue for a further 3,000 miles, as I wish to make the necessary arrangements. This further 3,000 miles will be covered in France, so that it would be most convenient for me to meet the car at one of the Channel ports - Havre, Dieppe or Boulogne, if you can make the necessary arrangements. Will you please let me know, as early as possible, therefore, the present state of progress of this trial and what will be the most convenient arrangements to you regarding my taking over the car?
