Rolls Royce Ltd., Nightingale Road, DERBY. Dear Mr. Hives, I am seeing the Technical Department on Thursday, Feby. 2nd. I know you are a difficult person to catch, but if you are at Derby that day I would rather like to show you a radiator shutter that I have got, as you told me you were interested in them. I also want to ask your advice about a friendly little race I am competing in shortly with a Bentley and a 30/98 Vauxhall. Also about some shock absorbers Mr. Northey mentioned to me recently. Yours very truly, G.R.N.Minchin | ||
