| From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} x20p. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}6/KT.29.11.33. We want to improve our open Bentley expl. car. At the present moment it is intolerable to drive in wintry weather. We should like to know what it would cost to alter the scuttle and bring the windscreen to its proper position and fit side flaps. We cannot afford to have a Bentley chassis which is impractical to drive in the winter. Gething Estimate for PW. | ||
