Park Ward & Co.Ltd., 473, High Road, Willesden, London N.W.10. Dear Sir, Re: Enclosed Limousine 31.G.Vll. Silver Wraith 60. Attached herewith is a complete specification of the coachwork which we wish you to put in hand for a Silver wraith 60 chassis, 31.G.Vll. This car is a replica of 30.G.Vll. in every respect save that the front has been altered by moving back the radiator 5.250 inches. This having been done we have used the B.50 Mock-up front wing, as shewn on the Frontal Appearance Drawing PD.444. You will receive a full list of drawings which are applicable in due course, and also a drawing of the special front apron. In the meantime we would be glad if you would put the body in hand, and give us a provisional delivery date assuming that you are able to mount the body immediately after panelling. Will you please add to this specification any items which we may have omitted and which are normally included in the stock Wraith III Enclosed Limousine as ordered by Sales. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. CHIEF ENGINE - CHASSIS. | ||
