| W/S. To Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey} c. to EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey}1/KT.16.5.33. HEADLAMPS FOR BENTLEY 'B'. Thank you for your Hn{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}11/1/11.5.33. We have received the P80 headlamps, and these will be fitted to the drop head coupe Bentley. We will let you know later when we have tried them, what our opinion is. The P100 headlamps which we have, are certainly not being used at the moment, but we propose to keep them until we get a pair to replace them with to fit to the fourth Bentley car. (You may recollect that we received no headlamps with the drop head coupe body, and that we used the pair of RB.{R. Bowen}170 lamps, which were supplied with the open body, to replace the P.100's on the green saloon body). We have not received a driving mirror or licence holder for the drop head coupe body. Would you kindly arrange to have these sent along. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey} | ||
