Park Ward & Co.Ltd., 473, High Road, Willesden, London N.W.10. For the attention of Mr.Ward. Dear Sirs, Re: Experimental Chassis. We find we cannot obtain any more sorbo for housing the tools in the boot lid{A. J. Lidsey} on 4.B.50. and Silver Ripple 1.R.1. We therefore propose to house all the small tools in a wallet on the nearside of the scuttle. The road tools should be fitted under the bonnet, the remainder to be placed in a well under the rear seat. The pump can be fitted in the roof of the rear boot by clips. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED CHIEF ENGINEER - CHASSIS. | ||
