Bentley Bumpers. ------------------------- We send herewith LeC.5474 showing a proposed over-rider for the front stabilising bumper for the standard Bentley. We have sent this to the manufacturers of the bumper, Messrs.Wilmot-Breeden, pointing out to them that this is merely a suggestion, and if possible we would like to use an existing over-rider of suitable design if such is available, and would they kindly send us samples of what they have. It will be noticed that in our proposed design we have endeavoured to carry out in the over-rider the motif of the top of the Bentley radiator. Will you kindly file the original and issue the necessary prints as no detailing is called for. Att:LeC.5474. (Print to C. ) | ||
