Drawings of R.R. & Bentley Cars at

Messrs. Park Wards.

During our visit to Messrs. Park Wards Thursday 16th, October, 1941 the question of the full scale drawings of the R.R. & Bentley models arose.

Unfortunately none could be found as they were stored away under a pile of wood. As most of these drawings are the only records we have of the Exptl. car bodies, it is agreed that they should be brought up here. The attached list gives the particulars required to enable Park Wards to sort the essential drawings out.
