| 261. (Experimental Dept.) Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}17/R.{Sir Henry Royce} 26th November, 1936. Leslie Hawkins, Esq., Cheslyn House, Cheslyn Hay STAFFS: Dear Leslie, I have made enquiries from our Sales Office with regard to a second-hand 4¼-litre Bentley, and frankly they have no proposition which interests me in the least as a good bargain. I would consider that your friends would be much better off with a new car. The two cars available are:- a black coupe with a fawn line and light brown leather for £1,375. and a 4¼ standard saloon black with brown leather ......... £1,450. The standard new car is listed at £1,510. I believe there are some good 3½-litres. Yours sincerely, | ||
