Messrs. Park Ward & Co. Ltd., 478, High Road, WILLESDEN, N. W. 10. Gentlemen, Coupe for Experimental Department. We are in receipt of your letter of the 19th inst. and are disappointed to find that the further pattern is still very dark indeed. We think it would be better for you to lighten it up still further. We are returning all the patterns to you herewith and are sending this letter across to your showrooms so that it may reach you early today. We would add that you are unlikely to be asked to colour the wheels in view of the fact that the body is to be mounted at our works. Kindly say when it will be ready for collection. Yours faithfully, For BENTLEY MOTORS (1931) LTD. | ||
