| Xv61 AFRICA HOUSE, KINGSWAY, LONDON, W.C.2. TELEPHONE: HOLBORN 8289. 10th July, 1935. W.E. Hives, Esq., Messrs. Bentley Motors (1931) Ltd., DERBY. Dear Mr. Hives: Bentley Chassis No. B.145 - AE. I am attaching a copy of a letter to-day sent to your Repair Department. It occurs to me that the chassis may be of some interest to your Department when it comes in as it has done twenty-eight and a half thousand miles since the first week in March of last year, and I personally have not met a private owner who has done this amount. Possibly, however, you have had privately owned chassis in which have done considerably more than this. With kind personal regards, Yours truly, C.W.D. Rowe. CWDR/VH | ||
