Dear Sir, We wish to obtain a set of your "Afa" shock absorbers for one of our 40/50 cars. We should like to know whether you are in a position to supply these or whether you have an English agent with whom we could deal. We should be obliged if you could give us dimensions to enable us to manufacture parts (for fitting these) and to ensure that they will clear other features of the car. Yours faithfully, For Rolls-Royce Ltd. | ||
