Dear Sirs, We beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter ref. E.6 FGE/MM. of the 5th inst. We are sorry that the fact of our experimental car being an old type Phantom II in respect of radiator and bonnet should have caused you unexpected difficulties in fitting up the set of Jackall Hydraulic Jacks. We require this car very urgently for other work and confirm having wired you this morning as follows - " Re Jackall Hydraulic Jacks We Require Car Urgently Collecting it Thursday Morning Please Arrange Accordingly" "Roycar". We shall be grateful therefore if you will arrange to have the car ready for our man when he arrives in the morning. If you will let us know when you have the new parts ready, we will send the car down again to have them fitted. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
