We note that you need a standard screen wiper for this car and suggest that you obtain the same from Sales, as you propose for 31.G.7. If not, will you please apply to Mr. Leslie at "B". Mr. Robotham has decided that he would like the above car finished in blue, to match the latest shade of blue used by Jaguar. Would you please ascertain for yourselves the colour referred to and submit to us a sample panel, together with patterns of suitable headcloth and leather, etc. Yours faithfully, H.J.F.Evernden.
