| Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} 2/MJ. November 21st. 1930. H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} Thompson Esq., Middleton Hall, Kings Lynn, NORFOLK. Dear Mr. Thompson, We find that Messrs. Jack Barclay of George St.{Capt. P. R. Strong}, Hanover Square, W.1. have a 25 HP. R.R. demonstration car with a body on, which appears to be exactly what you require. Though we have not seen this car ourselves, we understand it is a small saloon which would be comfortable to drive and at the same time it is fitted with a partition. We are sending you a letter we have had from Mulliner's and a photograph of the car which we recently sold to Mr. Hopps and which I mentioned to you the other day. As usual the photograph gives very little indication of the really excellent appearance of the car. We suggest that the next time you are in London, you take the opportunity of looking at this car, and they will be only too delighted to give you a trial run. We have not said anything to Messrs. Jack Barclay. We do not want them to embarrass you with their salesmen until you have decided if you are interested in the car in question Please let me have the photograph back as it belongs to the owner of the car. Yours sincerely, | ||
