| I think that they have been trying to do a little too much here, in their anxiety to keep the job going. I think we shall have to be satisfied with a few less miles on Peregrine if the Bentley is to be run continuously. Something will have to be done about Peregrine second speed, it comes out of gear on ordinary acceleration now, otherwise I am very pleased with the car. It seems certain that we shall have to improve Peregrine oil cooling further to be certain. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} - | ||
