| MANAGING DIRECTOR'S OFFICE TELEPHONE 6681 (10 LINES) TELEGRAMS JAGUAR COVENTRY SS{S. Smith} WORKS HOLBROOK LANE COVENTRY 1104 9th October, 1937. W.A. Robotham, Esq., Messrs Rolls-Royce, Ltd., D E R B Y . Dear Mr. Robotham, I thank you for your letter dated the 7th inst., and must accept as a great compliment, your Company's interest in our new 3½ litre Jaguar. I shall, of course, be delighted for you to come over to Coventry and look round the works again. As we are not yet in full production, it would be preferable for you to defer your visit, as you suggest, until after the Show, when I shall be very glad to show you and your chief engineer, through the works. I thank you for your invitation to visit you in Derby, and will most certainly avail myself of this at the earliest possible opportunity. Kindest regards, Yours sincerely, W. Lyons | ||
