| -2- Rear Lamps. Mr.Honeyman will assist in obtaining rear Lamps. Sunshine Roof. Mr.Honeyman to advise whether the body should have a sunshine roof as shewn on PD.206 or not. Rear Appearance. What we believed to be helmeting between the rear lights, is intended to be a slightly veed rear window light. We have decided to delete this feature. 2.B.50 - Body. We believe Mr.Honeyman has arranged the type of body to be produced. We should however like the rear wing appearance to be as PD.224. Door Locks. The door locks we supplied to you were found to be too large for the pillars, which will not allow for a lock of more than 2.000" long, we wish to use Everall locks as 2.B.5. Dashboard. We have agreed to modify our dashboard outer contour to suit the B.50 scuttle shape in order that a simple angle iron can be used. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. CHIEF ENGINEER - CHASSIS. | ||
