I note that before the War an Artist came over to you and made a number of sketches of the more characteristic features of the Bentley-V, more particularly the front suspension, roll rod, frame, etc. If I can find who this Artist was I will do so, and if not get Geoffrey Smith to send a man to make a few sketches from a chassis at Hythe Road, or take some photographs. I note the B-V is now almost completely out-of-date and therefore I agree there can be no harm in getting publicity for the existing ones. I am glad to note you have been able to make some progress. I rather thought you had had to give it up entirely recently. C. | ||
