The Motor are having a Bentley overdrive Trials Car, B-4-MR, for a road test and report, and it is being placed at their disposal on Friday, March 31st, for the week-end. Mr.Laurence Pomeroy is the man who will apparently use it. As you know, there is a standing order that cars submitted to the Technical Journals for a road test and report shall be sent to you for looking over before such events take place. Will you therefore please let me know what day you can receive this car, and how long you want to keep it. Actually the Coupe we are lending is a very good car indeed, and has a better performance than either of the Saloons. It has given some very satisfactory demonstration runs, and we do not think there is much you will need to do except check it over in certain ways. We hope, of course, you will keep the car as short a time as possible, as we are using the Bentley Trials Cars a good deal just now. Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} Swab | ||
