Dear Taub, I hope you enjoyed the Bentley. Can we get one of your new Chevrolet engines into the car we have just bought; if so, will General Motors sell us one ? If the new engine could be arranged, how soon do you think we could get hold of it ? Have Vauxhall's one of the set-ups for shot-blasting valve springs ? If so we should like to go over and see it. Yours sincerely, | ||
