WST re P.100 Head Lamps - Bentley. We wish to confirm an arrangement made with you that on Tuesday next, May 15th, when Mr Bentley's car comes to Derby, you will fit to this car P.100 head lamps on shortened lamp standards, of such a height that the top of the P.100 head lamp is at the same height as the top of the present lamp. The horns will be fitted on the front chassis crossmember on lines indicated to you in a sketch. This car will be in London on Wednesday and will be seen by Sales. It will then be decided whether this arrangement will be used or whether the P.100 head lamp will be mounted on the present height of standard. It is understood that it is impossible to shorten the standard and keep the electric horn central with the lamp with P.100 head lamp. EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
