| +3317 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}4/MA. 9th November, 1934. Messrs.Lendrum & Hartman Ltd., Buick House, Albemarle Street, London. W.1. Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter reference ETC/MH.{M. Huckerby} of the 7th instant. We tried a Series 50 Buick. We have come to the conclusion that the Series 40 would suit our purposes better than the Series 50. The type of car we should like is a five passenger, four door Sedan with built in luggage box and luggage grid. We should like to know how soon it will be possible to obtain one of these cars and what the price will be. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
