Bentley / Mr Barrington} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} O.{Mr Oldham} Tips, Esq. WILMOT-BREEDEN FRONT BUMPER. -------------------------- Further to our Hd{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy}/SB{Mr Bull/Mr Bannister}2/HR/17.6.36., we have now received the front bumper removed from the above car, which is running in Belgium. One of the main spring plates was replaced locally following a fracture, but we deemed it advisable to replace the complete bumper as we thought that other parts would have been badly stressed and may have given trouble later. We send you this bumper for your inspection. Hd{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy}/SB.{Mr Bull/Mr Bannister} | ||
