Re: Wheel Drivers on Bentley Chassis. --------------------- Referring to your memo Sr/VA.10/ET.24.3.38, we agree it would be advisable to change the wheel drivers on 4¼ litre cars which are used permanently in France, as the cars become available. In regard to the later 3½ litre chassis, we agree to your proposals to charge according to mileage, and we suggest 30,000 miles is a fair mileage, above which a charge could be made on a wear and tear basis.
