| To R.{Sir Henry Royce} from CJ. Ref 2 EX CJ11/D9.3.20. MAKE 10 (3/20, 2do. M 2) ET 621 a 220 JLH My Dear R.{Sir Henry Royce}, In BJ's report on his drive from Paris to Le CanadelHenry Royce's French residence, he says that although there was a thick coir door-mat on the floor of the front seat, a large ventilator at the top of the dash and two other scoop ventilators, the heat of the floor was insufferable. Is there any possibility of our overcoming this difficulty by taking off the mudguard from under the car? I quite agree with what he says. One becomes almost faint in the front seat of this car in a warm climate. Yours ever, CJ. | ||
