With regard to the present colour restriction, we have only one particular shade in mind at the moment and we were hoping to obtain an experimental length to carry out some repair work. We will send you a pattern indicating the shade and grain we require as soon as we can procure a sample to our requirements in leather. We are, Yours faithfully, for Rolls-Royce Limited. | ||
