BENTLEY 'A' MODEL. We send herewith N.Sch.3461, 3462, and 3465, shewing the designs of the Four Door/Light and Six Light Saloons for Peregrine. You have already had these once but we wish you to send us fresh prints as we have made an alteration to shew the bonnet lengthened two inches. We also send herewith N.Sch.3511. the Close Coupled Saloon, and N.Sch.3512. the Two Door Close Coupled Drop Head Coupe. On these cars as already stated we shall need a louvred bonnet, and on the designs we have illustrated the same. We have sent you in another memo the complete specifications of these bodies which are for the next five experimental cars, and you have also received a memo giving the chassis specifications and the order in which they will be required. We shall need to have particulars of your design of the louvred bonnet very soon if we are not to be late with bodies 2, 3 and 4, of the series. EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
