Rippon Bros. of Huddersfield have not had an opportunity of seeing the Green Bentley Saloon Body, which is now in Derby, we should be very much obliged if you could make suitable arrangements to enable Col. Rippon to come to Derby to see the Body, which he would be very pleased to do. We suggest that for this purpose the Body which is now on trestles might be transferred to the Repair Department. Would you kindly let Col. Rippon know what day would be convenient to yourselves and we suggest that, at the same time, Mr. Viggor of Messrs. Mulliner's, Northampton, should be given a similar opportunity to call and see the Body if he was not able to do so when he paid his surprise visit. EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
