We hope you are arranging for the production Bentleys, 15 of which are being specially completed for exhibition and trials purposes, to be fitted with the Lucas Dual High Frequency Horns having the grill over the front of the horn which matches that over the front of the radiator.

We dislike intensely the cheap appearance of the horn as seen on the Bentley at Bignall's Corner, and we hope you will have other horns ready in time to start supplying with that arrangement.
