Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to "Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}" Derby Showrooms Sr/DnIO/MLG.25.5.38 Re- Paulin Streamlined Bentley --------------------------- I have just received a letter from our very charming Italian customer, Count Nicolas de Sangro, who has written me from Vittel to inform me that he has just tried this car and I think I cannot do better than give you the following translation of his remarks. " The day before yesterday Mr. Embiricos passed here with his new Bentley. He very kindly offered me a trial. Allow me to send you my sincere congratulations on that marvellous job which you have succeeded in turning out. It is hardly believable that the mere fact of having cowled the car has conferred upon it new improvements which make it practically a totally different mechine. With renewed congratulations and kind regards, believe me....." [Signature] | ||
