| To EH. from R.{Sir Henry Royce} c. to CJ. c. to BN.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} Copy R4/G20.5.19. X.3203 BE "BUICK" CAR. Would you kindly send the Buick as soon as convenient as I want the Calcott to go to London to be sold. Will you please see that the Buick has good outer covers, as 7-CA was equipped with those which were dangerous, and results in bursting of perhaps good inner tubes. Personally I like rubber non-skid. Will you kindly see that the rims are not rusty, as it is difficult for us to get them revarnished here in putting on new tyres. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
