| X3861 To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re Bentley Steering Wheel. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}2/E18.1.34 Referring to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}10/MJ.11.1.34 and our conversation yesterday, personally I like the wheel on the 20/25 RR better than the Bentley one but I do not want it to have the same wheel. As per our conversation yesterday my only criticism of the Bentley wheel is that the finger grips are too small and I think it would be a good idea if you would get the makers to let you have one or two with wider grips to put on your cars to try. You might perhaps let us have one which we could put on one of the London cars to see what our people think of it. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
