To Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Derby Copy to Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Handwritten Note: Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} will do this see 12/5/39 1245 Levallois Sr.7/ET.II.5.39 Would you be so kind as to send me urgently, by return and through the quickest channels, a blue print of the Motor Show Bentley showing the standard front. As I wish to take particular pains in the building of our standard demonstration and show cars, these blue prints are essential if nothing is to be wasted. Although these blue prints, so I understand, have not yet been released for Coachbuilders, I only want them for Vanvooren's use and, as you know, this particular chassis is no longer a secret for them. Thanking you in advance. Sr. L. | ||
