[Handwritten note across body of letter: 6BIV HAS TO GO TO PARK WARDS FOR OUTSIDE PETROL FILLER. THIS CAN BE DONE AT SAME TIME. RM{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}] Dear Mr. Robottom, You may be aware that we have [Handwritten: now] standardised the fitting of Silent Bloc mounting to Bentley coachwork and I have thought it advisable to suggest to you that you should allow us to fit these parts to the Bentley car which we recently repanelled for you and which we believe you are using for experimental purposes. We intend bearing some of the expense ourselves and suggest making a charge of £5.0.0. nett only to you for this work. If you are agreeable, perhaps you would let me know when the car can be available in London for this work to be completed. Yours sincerely, for PARK WARD & CO. LTD. [Signature] DIRECTOR. | ||
