re 10,000 Miles Bentley Car.

Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 6/E22.3.34

Although you, E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} and I discussed certain important points in connection with the matter, I seem to have come away without information that I really wanted, i.e. when is the car likely to start on its 10,000 miles test?

I understand that you have hardly started to build it yet but I should be glad to have information as soon as you are in a position to give it relative to the above.

Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}
