re Bentley B.50.LS.

Thanks for the mileage figures and criticism of the motor fitted to the above car.

We now wish to carry out some starting tests in our 'cold Chamber' on this unit. Will you please let us know when it will be convenient for the car to come to Derby for two days while this is done.
