At the request of Mr. Abbott-Anderson, we enclose herewith brief particulars of four used Bentley cars we have available for immediate delivery, and they are offered subject to prior sale at the prices quoted. To a legitimate motor trader we will quote a discount of 10% off these prices. In regard to the mileages, these are pencilled at the foot of the specifications and we have carried out the necessary repairs to the chassis and coachwork etc. In regard to new Bentleys, we ourselves have two to offer, both Windover Saloons, and we attach hereto brief specifications giving details. These of course are also offered subject to prior sale. There are a few new Bentleys in the hands of our Retailers, and should you consider you would like to have details of them we shall be pleased to obtain same. We believe that the Clyde Automobile Company of Glasgow have a new Bentley and if you wish doubtless you could communicate with them. Enclosures. Specifications. B-144-LS. B-154-MR. B-201-GP.
