OUR REFERENCE: DP/NF. 1st.April,1939. Messrs.Sanderson & Holmes,Ltd., London Road, DERBY. Dear Sirs, In reply to yours of the 28th.ult.,regarding our charge to Messrs.Rolls Royce. We should point out that this car was equipped with practically a new engine,and the charge we have made is therefore purely nominal. As the car was out of guarantee at the time,we think that the charge is quite justified. Yours faithfully, SS{S. Smith} CARS LIMITED. Service Manager. | ||
