BENTLEY V.{VIENNA} FRONT SPRINGS.

I do not know whether Barnato has complained again of his front springs bumping since we had his car, but I thought we had put this right when we fitted our Experimental springs, which were the right length.

I certainly do not think there was any cause for complaint when I tried the car before it was delivered to him.
