Copy to Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hd.{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy} Levallois Sr/VA.4/ET.14.II.38 Re: FITTING LARGE CAPACITY OIL PUMPS TO 3 1/2 LITRE BENTLEY CHASSIS PERMANENTLY IN FRANCE ------------------------------ With reference to our Sr/VA4/LM.6.9.38, large capacity oil pumps have now been fitted to all 3 1/2 litre Bentley cars which are permanently in France; 46 cars in all. CHASSIS B.63.CW - Lady CHOLMONDELEY - This car was sold by us and, as we have not been able to get hold of it, we think that it is now in England. CHASSIS B.197.CW - Duc de FERNAN-NUNEZ & B.87.EJ - Mr. BLAQUIER were both sold by us and, as far as we know, we believe B.197.CW to be in Spain and B.87.EJ in South America. We should mention that the last time we attended to these two cars was about 3 years ago. Sr/VA. VH | ||
