Dear Minchin,

Thank you for your letter of the 17th. If you want to sell your 4½ litre Bentley, I can put you on to a customer forthwith.

If you want to sell, will you give me the mileage and the chassis number. I think your prospective customer might give you £1,200 for the car.

With regard to the Frazer Nash, the Company might buy it for instructional purposes. Could we borrow it for a week to see whether it has sufficient merits to be worth purchasing.

Yours sincerely,
