| 261 19th May, 1941. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}4/ET. J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} HOWLETT Esq., Wellworthy Piston Rings, LYMINGTON, Hants. Dear Howlett, Thank you for your letter of May 17th. In case Minchin's car does not suit you, a friend of mine, Mr Leslie Hawkins of Cheslyn House, Cheslyn Hay, Staffordshire, has a 4 1/4 L. Bentley for sale, which I know to be in excellent condition, although it has done about 30,000 miles. I believe he would take £1000 for it. I fear some Station Master has eaten the "Taste", since it has not yet arrived. Yours sincerely, P.S. I have noted what you say about pistons and carburetters and we are contacting Devereux. | ||
