| 1379 W/S. {Derby Works / Sales} Cx. {Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} from Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 4/R.24.3.39. Press Report on Experimental Road Test. Since it is considered to be impolitic to let Montague Tombs ride in a Bentley V, there is nothing more we can do about this portion of publicity. I think that you should now get owners who have had a big mileage of satisfactory service from their cars to write to the Press. I enclose a copy of a letter in reply to one written by "Vintagent" in last week's 'Motor', which you may like to have sent to the 'Editor'. Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
