| Copy to Mr. Hmr. Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} FMY/TD. 604 E {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} /SV.1/M. 28th May, 1937. Messrs. Park Ward & Co., 473, High Road, WILLESDEN, LONDON, N.W.10. Dear Sirs, Re: Continental Touring Limousine - 28.G.6. We send herewith a sample of red paint work which gives you the colour we wish you to use on the Continental Touring Limousine 28.G.6. It is proposed to have the whole of body, bonnet and wings and running boards in the one colour of red, as we do not think that this particular design of body lends itself to a two colour scheme of black and red. We have also received from Mr. Honeyman two samples of grey leather which we understand is in stock, and we have chosen the darker shade of grey. We would like you to choose a suitable grey headcloth and grey carpet. The latter should be as dark as the leather at least, and, if possible, be mottled, as we understand this carpet is less prone to soil than the plain. With these instructions we believe we have completed the specification of the above body. Would you kindly return the patterns mentioned above to Mr. Honeyman of our Sales Department as soon as you have finished with them. Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of ROLLS-ROYCE LTD., | ||
