Honeyman - Retail orders}3/MC2.4.35. Bentley Experimental car. With reference to Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}19/E.1.4.35, replying to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/MJ30.3.35, kindly note Park Ward & Co. have a standard saloon body ready for mounting so they will be pleased to accept your chassis just as soon as you can let them have it. They will want about 4 weeks to mount the body, provided they have finishing instructions in good time. It is particularly desirable that no time should be lost in settling on the upholstery materials, because it now not infrequently takes as long as 3 weeks to obtain the hides from the curriers.
