| 261 March 5th.1938. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}6/AP. R.A.C. Johnson Esq., Longord Lodge, BUXTON. Dear Bobby, Thank you for your letter of the 4th March, re your Father's car. I have some special experimental springs which I will arrange to have fitted. We have recently standardised some larger section tyres which will greatly improve the ride of the car, but as they necessitate new wheels, the changeover is rather expensive. Therefore, I do not expect your Father will want to spend the money. If the car is not out of the guarantee period, we may arrange for the spring changeover to be done free of charge, but we shall have to confirm this latter. Hoping to see you at the Cavendish shortly, Yours sincerelym | ||
