| S/W. (Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}) V180 Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}/Bly.{B. W. Bleaney - Bentley Sales}7/PH.25.2.31. re - Captain W.A. Powell, R.A.F. Staff College, Andover. -------------------------- We have had a visit from the above who is very interested in the latest 20/25 HP long chassis. Unfortunately, he cannot afford to pay for a new car and the chances of getting a car with coachwork to suit his requirements, secondhand, are very remote. He approached us to find out whether we had by any chance a demonstration or experimental chassis which we would be willing to sell at a reduced price, as he felt sure that with a cheap coachwork, the price would then come within his means. We should, therefore, be glad to know whether you have such a chassis which you are contemplating disposing of in the near future. If so, perhaps you would kindly let us have full details, so that we can estimate the value, and also delivery. Bly.{B. W. Bleaney - Bentley Sales} | ||
