1380 To "Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}" Derby Sr is absent EWPI5/MLG.5.8.38 We are sending you under separate cover dimension drawing of the Show model Vanvooren body. We also enclose a side view of the streamlined Bentley that was taken by our mechanic when the car was down at Monthlery. As reported to you in another memo this car has unfortunately had an accident to the rear part of the body and we are therefore unable to obtain any descent photograph for the time being.
