Van Vooren Body - Bentley.

We have heard from Sr. that the Van Vooren body will be finished at the end of this week.

With a view to giving the Coachbuilders a chance to make adjustments if the body settles down at all, we are asking Hancock to run the car a few miles at Chateauroux(French test region), and then return it to Van Voorens for final adjustments. It should be over here at the end of next week.
