I do not know if you have time these days to peruse the Motor and Autocar so I am therefore enclosing cuttings which represent a fortnights publicity obtained by Lagondas in these two papers, which I though might interest you. I also enclose all I could find about the Bentley during the same period which does not seem as though we were keeping ourselves very much in the public eye by comparison. It would be nice to see a few discreet "write ups" in the Motoring Press on the B.V to counter the Lagonda articles if it could be done without divulging any secrets. ----- Lov{Mr Lovesey}/Cr.{Mr Cra???ster / Mr Chichester} Cr{Mr Cra???ster / Mr Chichester} | ||
