| 1021 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies}7/JH. 7th February, 1938. Messrs. Park Ward & Co.Ltd., 473 High Road, Willesden, LONDON. For the attention of Mr. Thompson. Dear Sirs, We thank you for the weight figures of the Touring Limousine SO.4400. We should also appreciate a copy of your figures of Mr. Sidgreaves body No.4396. Would you please see that on all future bodies of this type that the dashboard carpet material is supplied unfinished. We find that the pattern you are using is not correct, and we have to remake this carpet to suit the dash. Could you therefore please let us have sufficient material to make a new dashboard carpet for Mr. Sidgreaves car and also the Touring Limousinr SO.4400, we should like to match up in colour. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
