We are pleased that you think it will be possible to standardise the extra front body bracket on Bentley before very long. We agree that a similar bracket is used by the Coach-builders on the Phantom and 25 H.P. cars, and to be strictly logical, we should supply the same, because we feel that if we supply body brackets at all we ought to supply all of them. However, the R.R. coachwork is going along quite satisfactorily, the coachbuilders supplying this bracket, so that for the time being we need not worry. As soon as we can we will arrive at a suitable shape and position for a similar bracket on the R.R. chassis and send the information to you. EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} ---- | ||
