| W Mr. Rowbottom. Pk/NHM/PM/29.7.36. Chassis No. B.47.BL. - J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} Murphy. At the suggestion of the Export Department, I am writing to ask you what your experience has been whilst in the United States and Canada, with regard to oil, tyres and headlamp wattage. I should be glad if you could let me know whether Castrol XL oil is easily obtainable, and whether any suitable tyres are made in America. Also what restriction is put on headlamps. This owner proposes taking his car to the States shortly, and would be very grateful if we could give him any information on the above. Pk/NHM. | ||
