Rolls-Royce, Ltd.,
Derby.

Dear Sir,

Thank you very much for your letter of February 23rd, in which you clear up the point raised by one of our correspondents concerning the T.T. Bentley in 1936 when it was a 4¼-litre.

It is evident from what you say that he is under a mis-apprehension regarding the practice car used by Hall before that year's race, and I am grateful to you for the information.

Yours faithfully,

the Editor
