| COPY. Crathorne Hall, Crathorne, Yorks. 10th February, 1936. Dear Sirs, re 3½ Litre Bentley Chassis No. B.181-BL. Further to my letter of the 25th January, I propose to send my car to Derby on Monday, February 24th, if this is convenient to you. She has run over 21,000 miles without having been decarbonised, so I expect you will advise having this done when she is at Derby. My chauffeur will explain to your representative certain difficulties I have experienced with the clutch, otherwise she is running perfectly. I understand that you will be fitting certain improvements to bring her up to date, and I shall be pleased to know how long you will require the car at Derby. Yours faithfully, (sgnd) T.L. Dugdale. Messrs. Bentley Motors (1931) Ltd., Derby. | ||
