Dear Mr. Geoffrey Smith, I see that in your issue of January 24th. Mr. Lycette is referring to Hall's Tourist Trophy Bentley, as have recently a number of your other correspondents. Would you like some information about the work we did on Hall's Bentley, power curves, some of the performance figures, etc., etc., for an article? If so, if you care to send somebody up here we will give him all the necessary information. Alternatively, I could compile something which your people might edit. The chance of a road test is somewhat remote since Hall took most of the "special" bits off his car to convert it for sale. Yours sincerely, Attached are the drawings you wanted. I apologise for the delay in getting them out. RF. 1905 RE. 2061 | ||
