Dear Sirs, For the attention of the Sales Manager. The other day we rang you up to know whether you could let us have a trial run on the 16.HP. Riley with an over-drive gearbox. We hope that at sometime in the near future you will have one of these cars over from the Works and will let us know when it is convenient for us to make a short test. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
