| LLANFOIST, CLIFTON DOWN, BRISTOL. TELEPHONE 36409. 13th August 1934. Mr. Leslie, Engineering Department, Rolls Royce, Derby. Dear Sir, You will be hearing from my chauffeur, Farrow, in the next few days, with reference to the behaviour of our car during our visit to Goodwood. On the road between Goodwood, Hove, and Sandown, it really was like a switchback. Perhaps you can imagine how very annoying this is after the number of times the car has been back to either Messrs. Abbott's, or you. I shall be glad to know of any suggestions you can make. Yours truly, A.C. Burgess | ||
