| To Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} From Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} c. to E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} 204 Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/MJ.30.3.35. Experimental work on the Bentley car is being prejudiced by the fact that we have no car with a Standard saloon body. We propose to remove the streamlined body from our experimental car and we would like to replace it with a Standard saloon. We should be glad if you would agree to a Standard saloon Bentley body being allotted for experimental car. We should like this as soon as possible. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
