Will you please let us know if we should now make it a general rule to fit large capacity oil pumps to all 4 1/4 Bentley Chassis that pass through our Workshops and Nice Depot, or to only those cars which we have sold and are permanently in France. For your information, we & Nice Depot have in several cases fitted large capacity oil pumps to cars other than those for which you sent us pumps for. Sr/VA. VB | ||
