Strong}, London W.1. X9048 Dear Sirs, For the attention of Mr. Manning. I wonder whether it would be possible for you to get hold of a Packard Instruction Book for me. If this is impossible, could you please let me know the firing order for certain. I am sorry to trouble you but this car is proving rather interesting to us at the moment. Incidentally, I am really looking out for a Lancia and if you come across anything at a really moderate figure, I should be very much obliged if you could let me know. Yours truly, | ||
