| X4703 To E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}7/KW.14.9.34. Appearance of Bentley. When I was in Detroit I met a gentleman who was very keen on scheming out a Bentley of original appearance. He has now sent me his effort, which I hand you herewith. I think you will agree that nobody could accuse this gentleman of being too conservative in his ideas! Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
