"PEREGRINE(Experimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine)" LUGGAGE GRID.


Cx. {Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} 14/KW15.6.32. We have completed the fitting up of the luggage grid on 1-J3 chassis. The car was taken down to W.W. at the beginning of this week and we believe that Da {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /Ev. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} took the opportunity of examining the luggage grid. We have been asked by Da {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /Ev. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} to allow him to see it and to make sure that it functioned correctly before submitting it for Sales examination.

Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /A.J.Lidsey.
