| (2) We agree to fitting side curtains on this model and in order that this may be done, an overall length at the elbow line can be made 110", and the thickness of rear squab as originally shewn on N.Scheme 1829., can be used. We think a 40" rear seat with this squab is adequate for a sporting car. Would you please communicate in all these matters direct with us in future sending a copy of to our Sales Dept., as this will save delay in our reply. Would you kindly send us a paper template shewing the shape of the scuttle where the instrument board will be fitted. We need this so that we can send you an arrangement shewing our scheme for mounting the instruments all under one glass, and illuminated by a patent lamp in the scuttle rail, full particulars of which the writer will supply you with when you need them. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
