CONFIDENTIAL.
21st. June 1939.

BY.4/N.

Messrs. Park Ward & Co.Ltd.,
473, High Road,
Willesden,
London N.W.10.

Dear Sir,

Re: Silver Dawn 80 - 33.G.Vll.
Four Door Saloon with
Division.

We enclose herewith a blueprint of FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies}463, shewing the coachwork of the above car, and also a complete specification.

We would be glad if you would put in hand the full-size drawing immediately, and give us a provisional delivery date, on the supposition that you receive the chassis when required. We would like a stuck-on chromium moulding.

The chassis may be regarded as a B.50 to which has been fitted a bent front pan, radiator and bonnet belonging to 30.G.Vll.

The body has the interior dimensions in general of the B.50 mock-up, but has special exterior architecture.

An official order will be sent in due course.

Yours faithfully,
FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED.

CHIEF ENGINEER - CHASSIS.
