-2- Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}14/KW.30.7.36. In the meantime, do you think you could do anything to improve our steel body ? I very much doubt whether I can demonstrate the leaks to you unless I can drive the car at 60-70 M.P.H. in the rain. Yours sincerely, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
