re:- Revised front appearance - BENTLEY.
The new frontal appearance having the dropped front cross-member and wings brought over the frame, after the design now standard on P.E. will be on the Experimental Saloon 5-B-4. As soon as this car is ready for inspection we will let you know. We anticipate this will be in about two weeks 'time.
