This morning you mentioned that you were going to London next week. Standard 10's, second-hand, are difficult to get hold of and as you already know it is impossible to buy a new one. British & Colonial Motors, LongAcre, have got a 10 H.P. Super-Saloon which is reputed to have only covered 5,000 miles and for which they are asking £165. R.S.Currie & Co. of 105 Westbourne Grove, W.2. have got a 1939 10 H.P. Super-saloon, also reputed to have done only 5,000 miles and for which they are asking £140. You might like to get in touch with either of these firms and try these cars. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AA.{D. Abbot-Anderson} Al. | ||
