Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}9/GC.25.10.34. Re : HEADLAMPS. You will remember that I told you that I found the Marchal "Strilux" Headlamps, fitted to G.Z.U.24 to be very effective as driving lamps, and also to have a very anti-dazzle dipped beam. I am enclosing herewith, a pamphlet describing the latest lamp which you will notice we can get for £30.5.0d. a pair, less 35%. SR. when over for the Motor Show, agreed that they are the only lamp that is any good on a car like the Bentley. Shall we fit you up a set on 5B4 or shall we buy you a set to fit up on any car you like in Derby? Please wire us at Lillie Hall what we should do. | ||
