| COPY. WILMOT-BREEDEN LTD. Eastern Works, BIRMINGHAM 1. 11th February 1941. W.M. Cowen Esq. Messrs. Bentley Motors (1931) Ltd. 16 Conduit Street, LONDON W.1. Dear Mr. Cowen, I spent the day at Derby yesterday with Mr. Robotham, and brought the new B.V. car back with me, for which I now enclose cheque in payment. It is difficult for me to convey to you my first impressions of the car, because there do not seem to be sufficient superlatives in the English language adequately to describe it. Suffice it to say at the moment that it seems to embody in every way the great engineering genius of your illustrious house. I very much appreciate the privilege of being one of the very few having these cars. Yours sincerely, (Signed) C.L. BREEDEN | ||
