Bailey - Chief Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}18/R.25.6.37. BENTLEY WIDER DASHBOARD. The wider dashboard LeC.4827 successfully completed 15,000 miles on 3.B.IV. and can be standardised. We are not sure, however, whether Sales require this feature. The body, of course, was the wide entrance saloon, which we like very much. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
