| Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Ag. file Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}17/ML.9.10.40. W.O. BENTLEY - PUBLICITY. The steady stream of publicity which is continually being put out in the "Autocar" and "The Motor" in connection with Lagondas and pre-Rolls Royce type Bentleys, cannot be ignored. Typical samples are contained in pages 346 / 348 / 349 / of the "Autocar" of 4th. October. The Bentleys produced by Rolls Royce are scarcely ever mentioned nowadays. We wonder whether this publicity has anything to do with W.O. Bentley some day being allowed to use his own name again in connection with motor cars. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
