Dear Sir, ROLLS ROYCE WRAITH - CHASSIS NUMBER WHB 61 We have been requested by Mr. R.{Sir Henry Royce} M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} Kendall to write to you in connection with the enquiries raised in your letter dated 8th December, 1969. Firstly, a full colour wiring diagram for the "Wraith" is contained in the "Owner's Handbook" mentioned elsewhere in this letter, but in an effort to assist you in the meantime, we have enclosed a photostat copy of this diagram. With regard to technical publications, the condensed edition of the "Owner's Handbook" for the "Wraith", together with a volume of Rolls Royce Service Instruction leaflets may be of some interest, and we have made arrangements for Rolls Royce Inc, of America to supply you with those. Unfortunately, we have no experience of any air conditioning units being fitted to pre-war cars, and all we can suggest on this subject, is that you endeavour to have this work carried out locally. Regarding the cigar lighter, we have been in contact with Hooper Motor Services, who were originally Hoopers the coachbuilders of WHB 61. As soon as we hear from them we will contact you further regarding this. On the subject of tools, there are not any replacements available for those supplied originally. However, we have requested our Parts Department to advise you in respect of what they do have available, and, as a matter of interest, we have enclosed a typical list of tools which would have been supplied with a "Wraith".
