five hundred miles or
so.

Yours very t'ly

E.W. Thomas,

P/S. I have a friend who
owns a 3 1/2 Bentley, the saloon
body of which is cracking
all over the place. I have had
to tell him that this is
only natural when an
engine such as yours is
fitted to a 'Riley 9' chassis.
It is therefore the price
he has to pay for his not very
outstanding performance!!
