Dear Leslie, We are returning to you your drawings of the Bentley Saloon. At the same time we send you the comments of our Body Designer. Actually there is not much wrong with the design, and it would be very interesting to see the complete car if you decide to have it made by Messrs. Park Ward. Personally I agree with you that it is a much better looking car than the present standard. I think you will manage to get your seat a little further back than standard if you co-operate with Messrs. Park Ward. I have written to them re the mounting of the drop head body on your Bentley chassis, and will let you know as soon as I get their reply. Yours sincerely, | ||
