ORIGINAL

re. T. T. RACE.

Regarding your Ell/HP24532., and the good behaviour of the push rod engines, it looks as though we ought to get through with the Bensport(Codename for 3 1/2-litre Bentley). At the same time the Riley would have the advantage of our old C. 1. scheme of central ignition plugs.
