| W/S. C. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} [Handwritten at top: X4609] Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/LG19.2.24. [Handwritten above the following line: X4609 X1692 x 3764 Tomorrow (all struck through)] ISOTTA FRASCHINI CAR. We shall be sending this car to Lillie Hall. We have now finished with it and therefore it can be sold. Since the car has been in our hands it has completed approximately 1500 miles. MARMON CAR. [Handwritten: X1692] We wish to dispose of this car. We propose sending it to Lillie Hall, probably at the end of this week. This is a 1920 model and since it has been in our hands it has run 10,000/12,000 miles. It has left-hand steering - open touring body. 4-EX CAR. [Handwritten: X3764] Sometime ago Sn.{Mr Sanderson} enquired whether we had an experimental 40/50 chassis which we wished to dispose of. We told him that we were willing to get rid of 4.EX car. This chassis was built in 1919 - it has 'C' steering, thermostat, and closed wiring. We consider the car should be overhauled by the Repair Shop before it is sold. We should like to know whether you are in agreement. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
