| 261 Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}8/MH.{M. Huckerby} 13th. March, 1940. G.R.N.Minchin, Esq., Messrs. Peto & Radford, "Rundells", Latton, Nr. Harlow, ESSEX. Dear Minchin, Thank you for your letter of the 12th. March. It will only take the Service Station a short time to remove your cylinder head and check up wear in the bores. I know it is horrible to think about one of our products requiring re-boring under 40,000 miles, but we know from experience that this is necessary in certain exceptional cases. I hope, however, that in your case the diagnosis may be incorrect. Yours sincerely, | ||
