PERSONAL OUR REF. RCS/AIL YOUR REF. 9th April,1934. Dear Mr.Hives, I think I mentioned to you when I was up at Derby last that Col. C.D.Rowe, one of our Managing Directors, has one of the new 3 1/2 litre Bentley cars - a coupé. He has been in touch with me with a view to approaching you as to whether he could look round the works at Derby and at the same time just have his car looked over, as he has now had it some weeks. I think that there are also one or two queries he wants to ask you about. If it is possible for this to be managed I should be very much obliged and will let him know, when no doubt, he will get into touch with you concerning a convenient date. I may add that my car is running very well indeed, and is a very real pleasure to drive. Yours sincerely, R.C. Stewart P.S. If you see Ted Radcliffe please give him my kind regards PS | ||
