LS Gry{Shadwell Grylls} JPB GF Kgt Dor{Mr Dorey} JS.{Mr Johnson's Secretary}6/MS. 12.1.66 SIII Wing Rippling Thank you for your note of the 10th instant concerning the above subject and as I mentioned to you at the factory yesterday, if we are definitely going ahead with the proposal to fit these styling strips, I think it would be advisable to brief Sales personnel - particularly our three Area Representatives - so that they can help the Service Department on putting this scheme over to those Retailers who have not so far had the opportunity of viewing the mock up fitted to 467.XMA. When you have the final costs available, no doubt you will be issuing a note to the Service personnel so if you will also include the Sales staff we shall be pleased to encourage Retailers to fit these strips to all second hand SIII cars prior to re-sale.
