re- Phantom II Chassis
Body Wiring and Accessory Box.

With regard to paragraph 3 of BY/Cgh.{W Clough}6/G22.1.32, we estimate that something like 80 to 90 per cent of Rolls-Royce cars supplied these days have electric cigar lighters.

If, arising out of this you finally make a decision which would necessitate fresh instructions being issued to Coachbuilders regarding the wiring of cigar lighters will you please let us know.
