NAT/KC. 11th September 1935. For the attention of Mr. Dodd. Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd., Nightingale Road, Derby. DODD* Dear Sirs, re 22-EX. This car has been purchased by one of our customers who is anxious to have it fitted with a second-hand body which we have here. To enable us to judge whether it will be suitable, would you please be good enough to say whether the sub-frame incorporated in the present body is exactly the same as the sub-frames which you supply for Phantom II coachwork generally of the longer type. Our customer is also anxious to know something of the history of the car and it would help us if you could give us some information as to when the car was disposed of after experimental use. Yours faithfully, for PARK WARD & CO. LTD. M.G. Thompson 31 / 12. 34 | ||
