Da {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /Ev. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} 15/N. 11th.March 1938. Messrs Joseph Lucas Ltd., Great King Street, Birmingham. For the attention of F.G.Thacker,Esq., Dear Sir, Re: Headlamps. We confirm our conversation with you regarding a pair of dummy headlamps for model purposes, based on the original Bentley headlamp OFD.167 SED.E.5. We would be glad if you would go ahead with these, giving to the lamp a thin bezel and a facial appearance like the latest R.100, with respect to centre strip medallion and reflector. If possible we would like the type of glass fixing to be that of R.100, so as to obtain an ornamentation top. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. Car Project Office. | ||
