five hundred miles or so. Yours very t'ly E.W. Thomas, P/S. I have a friend who owns a 3 1/2 Bentley, the saloon body of which is cracking all over the place. I have had to tell him that this is only natural when an engine such as yours is fitted to a 'Riley 9' chassis. It is therefore the price he has to pay for his not very outstanding performance!! | ||
