| X1104 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.16/JH. 27th June, 1936. H.R.Swiney Esq., Messrs. Duff Morgan Ltd., 15p Flood Street, Chelsea, London, S.W.3. Dear Swiney, This is to confirm yesterday's telephone conversation. We should like to know how soon you could get and the cost of the following 15 HP Citroen parts - (1) Complete front axle cross-member assembly including brakes and steering tubes. (2) 2 Shock absorbers. (3) 2 road wheels and tyres. (4) 4 torsion bars (2 spare). (5) 1 complete cross-member for supporting rear end of torsion bars. (6) 1 complete steering outfit from suspension to steering wheel. As you no doubt remember Citroen's are not very keen to sell us these parts without the remainder of the car, and we have no intention of buying a complete car. | ||
