| JPB.1.NH. WRC/gf 26 April 1956. Mr. W. Roger Cra'ster, Rolls-Royce Representative, British Motor Car Distributors Ltd., 1800 Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco, California, U.S.A. Dear Roger, Thank you for the photos, which we found very interesting, especially the cut-away door mechanism exhibits. When you last sent me a batch of catalogues there was not among them much gen on the latest Nash Ambassador. I should much appreciate any literature you may be able to collect on this monocoque car. We have all been much impressed and amused by your staircase exploits as reported in the Daily Mail. I shall look forward to hearing a first-hand account one day. Please give my regards to Bill and Elizabeth when you next see them. Bill wrote me that he had met Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} at your party and sent me a very funny news cutting from a local paper! Best wishes. J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} P. Blatchley. | ||
