Dear Editor,
I refer to your cartoon ‘The Guyana Sugar Corporation Inc. is proud of all of our historic pieces’ (September 25, 2008).

The now famous 1924 Rolls Royce Goshawks car was presented to the Port Mourant Training Centre (PMTC) by Mr RE Napper, who was an electrical engineer of New Amsterdam as a memorial to Mr Wilfred Thomas Swingler, the late engineer of Port Mourant Estate. When the car was presented to PMTC it was in a dilapidated condition.

It was completely overhauled and repaired by the apprentices of the training centre, working under the supervision of Mr J Moulton and Mr T Punwasi.  Albeit old, it still works and was driven in recent times by HRH Prince Charles as well as European Commissioner Peter Mandelson!
Please find attached a photograph of the famous car.
Yours faithfully,
Nick Jackson
Chief Executive
Guyana Sugar Corporation Inc
