| S/W. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}..from PN.{Mr Northey} PN.{Mr Northey}9/WT5.7.33. Open Bentley. Referring to your Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}8/MJ.4.7.33 I have noted your remarks and conclude that when this car comes to London for the week-end the flywheel will be fixed precisely as it is intended to be fixed in production on the Bentley car shortly leaving for France. Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} will be using this car on Saturday, and I have arranged to drive it from London to Newhaven on Sunday morning, this being the day I start my holiday in Dieppe. The car certainly seemed very lively and pleasant to control when I drove it up from Brooklands on Friday last. PN.{Mr Northey} | ||
