Smith} 12/7 You will, I know, be interested to read reports I have now received from Jack Barclay in regard to the Bentley-V he is using and from Sclater Booth regarding our Trials Car which I loaned to him for a week-end. Whilst opinions differ to some extent about the chassis features, there seems to be a general condemnation of the comfort of the back part of the body. I was pretty sure this criticism would arise from those who sat in the back of the car as my report after using the car at Whitsun indicated. As regards the matter of oil referred to by Sclater Booth, I have taken this up with J.L.E. in respect of that particular car. Att: Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} Rumb | ||
