W A Robotham Esq Rolls Royce Limited Experimental Department Derby 10 Nov 1933 Dear Mr. Robotham, I wish to thank you very much for your kindness in allowing me to try out the new Bentley. I took it out on Monday before handing it over at your show-rooms at Conduit Street. I expect Mr. Smith has already written you giving his views of the car. I consider that it is a wonderful job and quite one of the finest cars I have driven for a very long time. The engine is perfectly balanced and the road holding qualities at high speeds are astonishing. Again thanking you for your kindness and hoping that we may have the pleasure of loaning you one of our V-8's sometime when you are in London. Yours sincerely, [Signature of ABMacintosh] ABM HTS/UL | ||
