| Copy of memo. from Hm.{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} To "Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}" LONDON Sevres Hm{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs}4/ET.19.7.32 Dear Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}, re GAU.7 - 20/25 HP Trials Car. I wish to offer you and all concerned my best congratul-ations on the latest 20/25 Rolls Royce. It is by far the finest motor car I have ever driven or ridden inside. The roads in France, as compared to English roads, are a severe test for any motor car and we find GAU.7 practically perfect. We consider the springing and shock absorbers admit of the car being used with comfort at low speed and it also holds the road perfectly at high speeds. The steering is delightful, whilst the additional speed and power brings the car into a new market where we feel convinced we shall do good business. Yours sincerely, (Sgd) W.H. PS. The synchromesh gearbox makes gear changing a pleasure. | ||
