| S/W Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} C11/C17.10.33 Re Bentley Open Car. With reference to your telephone message of this afternoon, we will send this car up to you on Thursday night. We do not know of any Bentley having broken down, but one had a wing smashed and we had to put off trial runs whilst this was being repaired. Presumably this is what your man was referring to - you might make this clear to him. I should be interested to know his name. It was purely a question of an argument with a lorry. C. | ||
