We acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 1st inst., and request for sufficient blue cellulose to repaint the bonnet of the experimental Drop Head Coupe Bentley 3723. We are having this colour prepared and it will be despatched to you in the experimental Streamline Car which is leaving for your Works tonight. It is possible, of course, that you will find the colour slightly different in shade to that on the bodywork, but no doubt you will be able yourselves to adjust any slight difference. Yours faithfully, for PARK WARD & CO. LTD. [Signature] LID{A. J. Lidsey} | ||
