Hanbury - Head Complaints} Thompson, ESQ., Many thanks for your Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}10./KW.6.11.34, as suggested we have forwarded to the above gentleman to-day an order Form for signature. We have also confirmed the question of an inch additional clearance and a side petrol filler, and the lid{A. J. Lidsey} of the luggage container to form a luggage grid, a built-in number-plate, similar to that on Lp{Mr Lappin}'s car. With regard to the question of Item No.3 on your memo, in Mr. Fairey's case, owing to his being rather large, the seat-cushion to the driver's seat was made longer than usual. This of course, can be done if desired specially. With regard to the number of the chassis reserved, this is B.10.DG. Bly{B. W. Bleaney - Bentley Sales} | ||
