Messrs.Park Ward & Co.Ltd.. 473, High Road, Willesden London N.W.10. Dear Sirs, Re: Bentley 8.B.5. We thank you for your letter re inspecting the above car ( January 18th.1939). The car is still abroad and is using Chateauroux as a base. If you cared to let us know we could arrange for you to see it in Paris. We suggest that it would be more convenient for you to see it at Derby when it returns after completing its mileage which will not be long now. We will inform you as soon as it arrives at the Works. Yours faithfully. FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. CHIEF ENGINEER - CHASSIS. | ||
