Park Ward & Co.Ltd., 473, High Road, Willesden, London N.W.10. Attention of Mr.C.Ward. Dear Sir, Re: Four Door, Six Light Silver Dawn Chassis 32.G.VII. We wish to confirm what we have already explained to you verbally, i.e. the above body should not be proceeded with until you receive instructions to do so from us. A little later on we hope to take up the work on this car, most probably using the Silver Wraith length of wheelbase amongst several other proposed changes. We understand that by the time of our verbal instructions to you to hold up work on this body, it had not proceeded beyond the stage of the full-size drawing. Yours faithfully, For Rolls-Royce Limited. Chief Engineer - Chassis. | ||
