| Copy. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} from Bn.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} Copy to Hor. Bn{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington}2/WT25.1.34. The first production Bentley - B.65- which I drove on Tuesday was a very good car, and taking all points into consideration seemed better than any of the first fifteen. The only bad point was the absence of rigidity at the attachment of the wings, causing them to dither ratherbadly over rough roads. Bn.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} | ||
