X5830 X5770 When I was with R.{Sir Henry Royce} at Le CanadelHenry Royce's French residence, he mentioned that he would like an enclosed Sports saloon for a 20 HP. car. He thought it might be a Weymann but he wished it to be as low as possible and smart. He spoke of having this car ready for him this summer. We expect therefore that you will write to him and get to know more particulars as regards the type of body he wishes to have built. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
