We were pleased to see the arrangement on 28-EX on its way through London to France, whereby the starting handle can pass between the radiator shutters by means of a small cut away section, a scheme which we know is intended for the Bentley also. Having regard to the fact that this particular item is no doubt likely to be passed on 28-EX and not give any trouble, can you please tell me when the arrangements - that have doubtless been made - will bring this into effect on the Bentley also? As you know, we dislike intensely the necessity of disconnecting the thermostat on the Bentley in order to use the starting handle. Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} | ||
