| x7961 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} S/W. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} --- Blyll/HEM.1.5.34. We have received a request from an old Bentley owner asking what sort of petrol is advisable for use in Bentleys in the U.S.A. where he is shortly proposing to take his car. Also, he asks that, if he decides not to take his present Bentley over to the States, could we recommend a good American semi-sports car, not too large and not too expensive! As I understand you have recently been on a trip over there, I am wondering whether you can give me any information to pass on to this owner. Bly.{B. W. Bleaney - Bentley Sales} | ||
