R {Sir Henry Royce} /WBT. W.A. Robotham Esq., Experimental Dept., Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., Derby. Dear Robotham, I have just got your letter of December 19th regard Mr. Leslie Hawk(Aero Engine)ins' two further Bentley chassis. I have now been in touch with P.W's and they would be very pleased to mount your experimental body on one of the chassis for Mr. Hawk(Aero Engine)ins. They cannot at the moment give you an exact idea of the cost, but as soon as they know exactly what the job would entail, that is to say, whether it requires repainting, etc., etc., they would be very pleased to give Mr. Hawk(Aero Engine)ins an estimate, and any other information should he require it, if he would ring up, or write, to Mr. C. Falcon(Aero Engine)er at P.W's, Willesden. They also very much hope that he will decide to have a P.W. Saloon on his other chassis. If there is anything I can do to help Mr. Hawk(Aero Engine)ins, please tell him not to hesitate to ring me up here, and I will do my best for him. With every good wish for Christmas and 1935. Yours sincerely, (Sgd.) Rothes. | ||
