| To Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} From Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} c. to E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} 204 Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 2/MJ.30.3.35. Experimental work on the Bentley car is being prejudiced by the fact that we have no car with a Standard saloon body. We propose to remove the streamline(Experimental Streamline Bentley B.23.A.E)d body from our experimental car and we would like to replace it with a Standard saloon. We should be glad if you would agree to a Standard saloon Bentley body being allotted for experimental car. We should like this as soon as possible. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
