Reference.AF/EHC. August 8th.1940. Messrs.Rolls Royce Ltd., Clan Foundry, Belper. For the attention of E.A.G. Dear Sir, With reference to Mr. E.A.Green's call of August 7th. we have much pleasure in submitting 2 quotations as suggested, for model car. In the event of you placing the order we should require a few more particulars i.e:- Thickness of car side from window glazing to outside of car body. Drawing of wheel showing banding etc. and correct section of disc. If possible a photograph or drawing of radiator. Details of door handles, bumpers etc. A drawing giving outside body sections at intervals. The print which we already have does not indicate body sections very completely especially so where the body merges into the small curved running board and wing tips. If you could supply these and any other particulars which you might consider useful to us, it would help us greatly. Trusting to hear from you in the course of the post and assuring you of our best attention We are Yours faithfully E.H. Clifton Until further notice all communication should be addressed to E.H.Clifton, Twining Models, Pike Lane, Northampton. | ||
