| WST 86051 S/W. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} re- Experimental Streamlined Bentley. Cx{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}6/KW13.2.34. It struck me when driving this car yesterday that the finish of the instrument panel was very poor and open to criticism from that point of view. Would you kindly tell me if this is the standard production panel, because if so I anticipate we shall have to improve the finish of it or expect a lot of complaints from customers of poor finish which is unworthy of the chassis.
