They will mount the body and will make the valances, running boards. etc. We would be glad if you would supply them with enough Sorbo Rubber to cover the front floor although you are not fitting front floor boards. In view of our need for this body at the very earliest date possible we would be glad if you could give us a date by which you will be able to give delivery. The writer hopes to call and inspect the body during the present week and will phone you as soon as he is able to fix the day and time. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS ROYCE LTD. | ||
