KPY/MRIO.3.34 I telephoned to Mr. Payton at 9 o'clock this morning but he had left for London. Spoke to Mrs. Payton who said:- "We tried the Bentley over the week-end and found it greatly improved, in fact, very nice. Yesterday (Sunday) we tried it after washing and the brakes became effective very soon. I am going to use the car again today and should anything be not quite right I will report to you. My husband and I are very grateful to you all for the attention you have given us." EBS. | ||
