| Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}11/ML. 12.11.40. Cpl. L.C.Larking. R.A.F., 21, Station Road, Poulton le Fylde, Nr. BLACKPOOL. Dear Sir, With reference to your letter of November 6th. We think it unlikely that you would be able to get above 60 m.p.h. in third speed in your Silver Ghost armoured car. The maximum speed in top, of these vehicles, would not be more than 68 m.p.h. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS ROYCE LTD., | ||
