With reference to our VAI/ET.31.12.36 concerning the modifications etc.. which we have carried out to the engine and brakes, we are very pleased to inform you that the car in general is running extremely well. Sr. says that it is, in many respects, the best Bentley he has handled. Sr. will write to you a little later on about the car. We should mention that the large capacity oil pump is fitted with straight tooth gears. Sr/VA.V4 | ||
