| PER BAG. X104 W/S {Derby Works / Sales} - Hn. {F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} from Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /4/KW.17.12.34. Second-Hand Bodies. Replying to Hn. {F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} 23/1/13.12.34. In view of our telephone conversation the other day we offered one of the Peregrine(Experimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine) bodies to Mr. Leslie Hawk(Aero Engine)ins of Cheslyn House, Cheslyn Hay, Stafford, for £30. He accepted this offer, and i should be glad if you would confirm the sale. With regard to B-130-AH, there are three Peregrine(Experimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine) bodies left. One is a close-coupled Saloon very much on the lines of the one fitted to the first Bentley chassis, 1-B-IV. It is probably slightly smaller than 1-B-IV and has the same luggage accommodation as was fitted to all the Peregrine(Experimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine) bodies of the close-coupled type, i.e., the back seat folds forward. The other two bodies are Saloons, one a four light and the other a six light type. We see little or no prospect of selling these last two bodies at Derby. Suggest you talk on the 3 o'clock call, shall be available here. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
