| 800 b. To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}1/E23140 I noticed a new looking Bentley outside the offices yesterday with a body painted black. I rather think it was the Bentley Cresta. I have to go to Gloucester and back on Wednesday the 31st and, as I have never seen nor tried this car, I was wondering whether I could have it for that trip. If so, I should want it here by 8.15 a.m. or on Tuesday evening. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
