Dear Mr. Robotham, I am enclosing the invoice for the work recently done on Mrs. Robotham's car. When decarbonising we took the opportunity of changing the cylinder head for a 1936 pattern as this has been specially designed to stop noisy tappets, and I hope that you will find the results to your liking as I know that the tappets have long been worrying you. If there is anything not quite satisfactory, would you mind dropping me a line ? Yours faithfully, G.F.Searle. Service Manager. | ||
