Rolls Royce Ltd., DERBY. Dear Sirs, I got back the Speedometer but there is something very strange in connection with it because at first it would not register above 12 m.p.h. whatever the speed of the car and now it will go to 30 but it will not go back to zero. It stops at about 10. I do not like to take it to A.T's because they might say it had been tampered with and I thought the best thing was to send it back to you, so it is in the post to you now. Yours sincerely, C.R.N. Minchin | ||
