| 261 14th May, 1941. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}9/ST.{Capt. P. R. Strong} John HOWLETT, Esq., Ravenscourt, LYMINGTON, Hants. Dear Howlett, Thank you for your letter of 12th May, also for the fish which has not yett arrived, but has created pleasurable anticipation. If Blackith has been unable to fix up your car, please let me know. I am sorry to say we are not building any car of any sort, nor have we any experimental cars to sell. I do, however, know of a 4 1/4 litre Bentley which has just recently been overhauled, and therefore should be good for about 40,000 miles without attention. This belongs to Mr. Minchin, whom you can contact at Messrs. Peto & Radford, 50 Grosvenor Gardens, LONDON S.W. 1. Yours sincerely, | ||
