STEERING COLUMN CONTROLS.

We have a Peregrine(Experimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine) car fitted with the latest form of controls. This car is available for you to examine any time you wish.

We are not very impressed with the appearance of these controls. We still think they compare unfavourably with those fitted to the best American cars.
