| X9410 To BJ. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to PN.{Mr Northey} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/LG23.9.24. 98-NK CAR. X9941 (crossed out) X9410 This car has been prepared for a 10,000 miles test in France. As soon as the correct springs are available (these have been promised in a weeks time) we expect this car to leave for France. Apart from Spring tests, two sizes of radiator have been made to suit this car and also louvred and shuttered bonnets. It is proposed to carry out tests with these in parallel with the Spring tests. When we have completed the 10,000 miles in France, we see no reason why the car should not be handed over to Sales. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
