COACHWORK PAINTING ON 6.EX. and NO.4.GOSHAWK. X635 X3923 X4219 I think grey No.7. in Messrs Thornley & Knight's list is most suitable for 6.EX. car. The burnt turkey umber seems to be the best for No.4. Goshawk 11. on page 15 of Messrs Mason's list. It would suit the brown leather upholstery better than Parson's deep fawn which I had at first selected. The lighter colours do not at present in my opinion seem serviceable for even open cars. The 3 books of sample colours are returned herewith. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
