| +2vc. To E.R. from EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} c. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} For. La.{L. A. Archer} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Bentley. Please receive herewith a list of the weights of the eleven Bentley cars on the road, and also the three experimental equivalent cars. The open car is heavy due to the Vandem Plas patent grid. The coupé has gained weight due to the larger luggage boot and contracting head gear. The Saloon has increased in weight due to the rear access to the luggage. The lightness of the Hooper Saloon is partially due to their retaining the interior loading. On the whole we consider the weights quite satisfactory. EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
