Dear Sirs, Thank you for your letter of October 22nd, together with the information regarding the Tourist Trophy Races. This is exactly what I require and I am very much indebted to you. There is only one point that still requires clearing up. Was the Bentley that ran in 1929, supercharged? I also understand that a supercharged Bentley ran in 1930 though it did not come in the three fastest cars. Is it possible for you to tell me whether there was more than one Bentley in the 1928/9/30 races? Yours faithfully, for ROLLS ROYCE LTD., | ||
