| 1349. To: "Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}", DERBY. Showrooms Sr/Dnl{Mr Dunwel}5/MLG.19.7.29 I was delighted to receive notification from "Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}" of the fine performance put up by the Streamlined Bentley (B-27-LE) and attach copy of my reply to him for your information. Will you kindly convey my congratulations to Captain Eyston, and tell him how pleased I was to hear that he had improved on the Bugatti time effected on the 27th May. I think the speed attained reflects great credit on all concerned. I should be very interested to know what your best lap was. hr | ||
