re Specification Production Model
Bentley 6.

We attach herewith 3 copies of the specification for the Production model Bentley 6 PL.264 1 set of prints for Oy. 1 for Ashby and 1 for Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/HH.

This specification represents how we would build the Bentley 6 for immediate production and is based upon the Silver Ripplet production model, specification No.PL.254.

The main changes are the induction system and 2 s.U. carburetters and the bonnet to that of a Bentley.
