| W/S. To Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} From Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}4/MJ.18.1.34. BENTLEY B.35. AE. E.R.HALL. Replying to Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}1/L/17.1.34. We have no open body available for Bentley car at the moment. The position is that we recently burnt out the body on our saloon car. This body will have to go back to Messrs. Park Ward to be rebuilt - we expect this will take about a month. After they finish it we intend to mount this body on the chassis which is at present fitted with the open body so that in about a months time we expect to have a spare body. We certainly cannot let the body go until we have the rebuilt one back from Park Wards. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
