| X1104 Exptl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.24/KW. 28th April, 1936. W. Parsons Esq., 16, Rue du General Foy, Paris, France. Dear Parsons, We are now wanting the set of Citroen parts which you kindly found for me in Paris just after Easter. I phoned Derby after seeing you, before leaving Paris, but it was thought advisable to have a further discussion before getting the parts. The parts we are requiring must be for a right-hand steering and consist of :- (1) Complete front axle cross-member assembly including brakes and steering tubes. (2) 2 x Shock absorbers. (3) 2 x road wheels less tyres. (4) 4 x torsion bars (2 spare ones). (5) 1 complete torsion bar rear cross-member. (6) 1 complete steering outfit from front suspension to steering wheel inclusive. All these parts are for (what we call) the 15 HP. having 56" wide track. Could you just confirm that you can get these parts for right-hand steering. The right-hand steering parts in England are sent over complete from France. We should also like to know the approximate price for them, including duty. | ||
