Dear Mr. Robotham, I would apologise for the delay in replying to your letter dated the 15th instant, on the subject of stabilisers for the Bentley. We have noted that the Bentley has much the same weight and rear spring deflection as the V8, and in view of this we have asked Mr. Cupper to forward a set of stabilisers for the V.8. As soon as these parts are delivered we will advise you, have them forwarded to Derby and will collaborate with you in regard to their fitment. Yours faithfully, p.p. LEYLAND MOTORS LIMITED.
