Summers' Car - B-169-CW. This is to confirm our telephone conversation that, if a stabilising bumper bar is available at the time this chassis is on test, it can be fitted. Mr. Summers' first Bentley was one of the worst cases of front wing movement which we have ever seen, and when he ordered this new car he stipulated that he would expect an improvement in this respect.
