| SECRET. 1260. To Ox. Copy to Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} RMG. Re Hub Caps - Bentley and Wraith. As you are no doubt aware it is proposed to use the Bentley wheel hub nut on the Wraith. It is suggested that if we could make the two interchangeable there would be a saving in cost. To do this it would be necessary to delete the monogram in both cases. The plain-ness of the nut face would be relieved by a small circular groove rather like that used on the petrol filler cap. We would be glad to know what would be the Sales Dept. feelings on this matter. Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
