| 1091 Rml/R.{Sir Henry Royce} May 12th, 1939. M.C. Wilks, Esq., The Rover Company Ltd., New Meteor Works, COVENTRY. Dear Wilks, Thank you for your letter of the 29th April, together with body dimensions. There is one basic dimension which we cannot determine from your Sales' book, i.e., the distance from the bottom of the steering wheel to the face of the rear seat heel board. I should be much indebted to you if you could let me have this figure for your 1939 models. Yours sincerely, | ||
