| S/W. To Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Bly.{B. W. Bleaney - Bentley Sales} Blyl/R26.11.36. Re:- Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}15/R25.11.36. per Bag We have not a used 4¼-litre Bentley for sale ourselves; as a matter of fact we have not had the chance of getting hold of one. On making enquiries however, I find there are two cars in traders hands in London, one of which may interest, and I should be glad to get further details for you. The lowest price Bentley being a 4¼-litre standard Coupe, mileage 7,000, painted black with fawn line on the moulding and light brown leather. The lowest nett price to us is £1,275, and the retail price being asked is £1,375. The other car is a 4¼-litre standard Saloon, painted black with brown leather, mileage 11/12,000. The nett price is £1,350. It would therefore appear that unless the Coupe interests at the price mentioned, it would be better to purchase a new car, and as you know the standard Saloon is listed at £1,510. Perhaps you would let me know if I can help you with further information, or send you details of any 3½-litres if these will interest. Bly.{B. W. Bleaney - Bentley Sales} | ||
