Dear Hives, My friend Eric Horniman (who you may remember as the owner of the Big Benz & who has had various R.R's) has now got his 6 cyl Bentley & I went out in it for a short run today. You wanted to know if it was available for test & I asked him. He is going up on a business tour to the North next week & will be in Derby on the 14th or 15th probably 15th & he says he could meet you for lunch & take you out if you still want to try it. He is a very cheery bird. This would save you coming up to London. Will you let me know | ||
