| To Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} From Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}4/WJ.21.6.33. POSITION OF PEREGRINE & BENSPORT. We have completed the four Bentley cars and have had them running on the road. No.1. car, which was the original mock-up experimental car is now being brought up to date as a final production model and we expect this car to go to France in about a fortnight's time to carry out the final 10,000 miles test. The only work we have to clear up on the Bentley is the detail work, and a decision as regards the final shape of the radiator has still to be made. A modified radiator is being fitted to No.1. car when it is rebuilt. Peregrine. All work on this car has been stopped. The four complete cars we had fitted with bodies have been stored.
