2. MOTORING LETTER The car was in no way stripped for the hour's run. It was completely fitted out with spare wheels, tools and even wireless. There is little doubt that this remarkable car has caused a good deal of heart burning in Continental and even British motoring circles and it is not likely to be long before other British, and the leading Continental, firms go after the Bentley figures. Thus does enterprise stimulate trade. | ||
