I hope you won't think it impertinent to suggest the above modifications to such an excellent car (the writing of this letter has been a great effort!) but if you put them to 100 keen owners of 20's I should be very surprised if you did not find more than 95 agree with all of them. With these small changes added I think it would be very very hard to improve the car and I think you could put its price up to £1,385 or more and raise the prestige of the Phantom rather than lower it and be busier in your Works than you ever have been before. Yours faithfully, (Sd) G.R.N.Minchin. PS. I have a faulty radiator, I shall have to ask you to replace on my return. | ||
