C. to EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Re. 10,000 Miles Test on 3½ LITRE BENTLEY. We propose bringing the Bentley car which is going over to France to run 10,000 miles test to London on Tuesday. We should be glad if you could let us know whether it would be convenient for Sales to meet us with this car to discuss several points. This car represents the model proposed for production. It will have the latest radiator, it will also have the latest brake adjustment. The engine will also be finished in the manner which we recommend. It may not have the final hub caps but otherwise it will be right up to date. We will bring the specification of the car with us. If suitable to you we recommend that we meet at Bignall's Corner at 12 o'clock. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
