| X1245 S/W To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}E.DY.{F R Danby} [strikethrough] Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}Bly.{B. W. Bleaney - Bentley Sales}DY.{F R Danby} [strikethrough] Bentley Paris Trials Car. Referring to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}20/KW.4.6.36 I have seen a complete weight analysis of the car in question. Our people, I find, do not contemplate any difficulty in producing a body to approximately the same weight and to the same specification. The question of whether it would serve any useful purpose in this country is doubtful and I think perhaps the best way will be for me to raise it when I am next at Derby. Sg.{Arthur F.
