Dunlop have supplied us with a set of special wheels fitted with larger section tyres for the 40/50 H.P. They are also preparing a set of wheels and larger tyres suitable for the 20 HP. Mr. Royce has asked that these wheels and tyres should be fitted to his car. He is going away in two to three weeks for a short holiday, and would like them fitted by then. We understand from the Tyre Dept. of Messrs. Dunlop, that the tyres are ready but they are waiting for the wheels from Coventry. We should be greatly obliged if you would write to Col. Matthews and ask him to complete these wheels as soon as possible. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} MADE IN CROXLEY | ||
