Dear Mr.Robotham, In Mr.Barclay's absence, I am taking the opportunity to send you photograph of the 3 1/2 litre Bentley Sedanca Coupe which he mentioned in his last letter, chassis B.199 BL, in the hope that this may suit your friend who, we believe, really wanted a Drophead model. It is a very smart car and the mileage of 45,000 unusually small, and the coachwork by Barker is in first class condition. I shall be very glad to receive your further comments at your convenience. Yours very truly, C.R.F.English. Encl: Photo. B.199 BL. | ||
