[illegible strikethrough] X3730 Below is an extract from a report received from R.{Sir Henry Royce}(Le CanadelHenry Royce's French residence) on the above:- "*Body. We have now raised the front seats up 2¼" by packings under the wood frame upon which the cushions rest - (therefore, there will be ample room here for tool tray as favoured by me) except that the front cushions are too long and should have the outer corners rounded. The body, splashers etc. are excellent for a useful light and fast car, with comfort." EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} | ||
