| To R.{Sir Henry Royce} From Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} c. to Wgr. c. to Ds/Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/Mj.9.1.31. X.5770. X.7772. 20/25 HP. I am sending you herewith a photograph of the 20/25 HP. chassis which has been fitted with a Brewster body in U.S.A. You will see by the front view that they have fitted dummy shutters below the radiator so as to improve the appearance. One had to admit, compared with the standard cars which we sent out there, this car had a better appearance. They do not hesitate to fit dummy shutters below the radiator because they do the same thing on all their Phantom 1 cars. I also attach two photographs of the wooden subframe which R.R.A.I. propose to use on the imported Phantom ll cars. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Photographs attached to R's. copy. | ||
