| C7/C81138 8th November 1938 H.E.Berenstein, Esq., Messrs.Lendrum & Hartman Ltd., Buick House, Albemarle Street, W.1. Dear Mr.Berenstein, Confirming our conversation on the telephone today, we understand that you do not import Buick Saloons from the United States but only from Canada, so that it would be necessary for you to obtain a car from the United States specially for us. The car we are enquiring about is the Century, series 60, 8 cylinder model, 125 1/2 wheelbase, equipped with sliding roof, radio and trimmed with leather; and with right-hand steering. We understand that the sliding roof and radio would have to be fitted after the arrival of the car in this Country. I shall be glad if you will please let us know what is the best delivery you can give of this car, and what the nett price would be. Yours truly, General Manager. ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
