I approve of the general recommendations set out in this Memo. though I am not very enthusiastic about using the Silver Wraith and Silver Phantom close-coupled body on a Bentley chassis. I am inclined to agree that we shall not be justified in going into production with a wheel base in between 10' 5½" and 11' 1". Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
