| X7961 Exptl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}10/KW. 17th May, 1934. The Earl of Rothes, The India Tyre & Rubber Co.Ltd., Mileage Dept. (Area "B"), 80, Clapham Road, LONDON, S.W.9. Dear Rothes, A friend of mine wants to get early delivery of a Bentley. He would be satisfied with a standard Car. I believe you know the more remote Scottish Agents who might have such a car available; I have told this fellow that if he is going to get preferential treatment in the matter of delivery he will have to pay. Can you do anything to help me ? Yours sincerely, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
