E/Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}5/MN.9.2.37. 1023. Wilmot Breeden Front Bumpers with Over-riders. Bentley. We have received from Messrs.Wilmot Breeden some samples of over-riders for fitting to a standard Bentley front stabilising bumper. There are two types, B.3057 and No.10544. We send you herewith a pair of each of these together with prints of the same and also prints showing how they are fitted, - PD.Ex.3376 and PD.Ex.3376A. We would be glad if you would fit up two Bentley cars with these over-riders for us to have a look at. Our general impression is that they are not very acceptable because they have black rubber inserts which will tend to clash with the colour scheme of the car, and we suggest either design might look better if the rubber were removed. We might try this. Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Att: PLEASE FILE | ||
