| 2. 4. Plain upholstery. We have always thought that this feature to be good, because it produces a softer cushion and squab, and differentiates the car from the mass produced cheap car, which uses pleated trimming to hide a multitude of sins. 5. The lining of the luggage locker. In our case we can get a set of golf clubs cross-wise in the boot if we leave out the lining board as we now do. Although it may not look good, we prefer our present treatment as being the most useful. Yours faithfully, For Rolls-Royce Limited. Chief Engineer - Chassis. | ||
