| S/W. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} File - Bentley Publicity Cx{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}3/KW11.12.40. Mr. Boddy - acting Editor of Motor Sport - writes that he has been in touch with you and that you are sending him some details of the B.V for publication. He asks whether, to make the article somewhat different from the usual editorial write-up, he could be given at least something about why the alterations were introduced. Of course, most of them are obvious, but there may be one or two technical points on which you could perhaps enlighten him to some extent. For your information I enclose copy of a letter I have written him to-day in reply to his communication. From this you will see that I am arranging for him to try the car at an early p.t.o. | ||
