| 404 c. Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}5/R.{Sir Henry Royce} 14th September, 1938. Messrs. Park Ward & Co.,Ltd., 473, High Road, LONDON. N.W. 10. (For the attention of Mr. Finney.) Dear Sirs, With reference to the finish of 3.B.V we have selected Wedgewood Blue No. 5008/7 from the enclosed Jewel-esence samples as being, approximately, the colour we should like for this car. As in the case of previous Bentley V's we are thinking of a one-piece colour scheme. We have the impression that if it is possible to incorporate a silver lustre in this finish it might be still more attractive. We should be glad if you could submit one or two panels which incorporate variations on the basic colour and suitable leathers so that we can make a selection. Yours faithfully, For ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
