Park Ward & Co.Ltd., 473, High Road, Willesden, London N.W.10. Dear Sirs, Re: Chassis 3.B.50. As agreed during our visit on Friday last, the 10th.inst. we have forwarded to you the correct Wheel Arch Brackets and Bolts for the above chassis. Will you please also modify the exhaust bracket to clear the rear seat heel board as suggested. The rear axle fitted to the chassis is a dummy one, and the rear track is incorrect, and should not be worked to. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. CHIEF ENGINEER - CHASSIS. | ||
