H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} Thompson Esq. With reference to the attached letter from Park Wards, the intention was that the driving mirror should be fitted at the top of the windscreen inside the car. For some reason Park Wards fitted an external mirror. This does not satisfy the customer, and the car will be returned to them in due course.
