| To Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ....from Ev. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} copy to E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Ev {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} 3/IH.29.1.34. 3 1/2-Litre Bentley. --------------------- Will you please let us know when you expect to require the new Bentley Saloon Body, as this will no doubt influence us in the matter of how it can be obtained. We presume that as a matter of policy we shall not be able to purchase it from Park Ward & Co., and shall need about 10 to 12 weeks, therefore, as against 6 weeks in their case, apart from the delay in not being able to make use of their jigs.
