[Logo: THE SOCIETY OF MOTOR MANUFACTURERS & TRADERS LTD] W. A.{Mr Adams} Robotham Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. Dear Bill, 3 1/2 LITRE BENTLEY No. B.169.GW. I understand that my car is going on test to-morrow When I saw you in Derby last, I understood you to say that you had everything ready for fitting to the car to prevent the front wings flapping, and that it would not hold up the job. I hope to collect the car next Tuesday, so perhaps you will bear this in mind. I will give you a ring on the tele- phone, so that I can find out exactly what the situation is. Yours sincerely, Richard. RFS/HC. | ||
