Mr. Johnson 12.8.10 We will write to coachbuilder suggesting that coconut mats are fitted over the front floorboards of all our cars, and when at coachbuilders we will also strongly recommend that this is done. We have found these mats to look well, and wear well, but are more difficult to fit. H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} Oldham. X819 [Watermark text: OFFICE COPY 1304 MADE AT CROXLEY] | ||
