| C O P Y From: PARK WARD & CO. LTD., 473, HIGH ROAD, WILLESDEN, N. W. 10. Ref: NAT/MO.B.209. C.880. 11th July 1935. To: Messrs. Bentley Motors (1931) Ltd., 16, Conduit St.{Capt. P. R. Strong}, W.1. For the Attention of Mr. Honeyman. Dear Sirs, Re: 5-B-1V and 6-B-1V. As you know there are no engines in either of these chassis and we look upon it as being absolutely essential that they should be returned to us when the engines are mounted. We are, of course, quite unable to adjust the doors and mount the body properly with the chassis in the prssent condition and as regards 6-B-1V we have the brackets fitted at the rear for silent bloc mounting, but the fittings are not to hand and this work should be carried out when the car is returned. Yours faithfully, For PARK WARD & CO. LTD. (Signed) N. A.{Mr Adams} Thompson. | ||
