Dear Sirs, We are despatching to-day under separate cover, 2 spare wheel covers, one unfinished, which we ask you to complete and use on 31.G.VII chassis, the other is a model taken from one of our cars, this was made locally. You will readily appreciate that we can have these covers made almost a fitting size to the tyre, and that the wheel wells can now be reduced in width, as no allowance is to be left for a wheel cover dropping into the well. Our sample cover was made to match up with wings fitted with a helmet, in cases where the top of the wings are rounded we made a round cover with a chromium band obtained from Cornercroft with the clip and fasteners. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
