Subject: Re: V12 Saloon De Ville with Cotal Gearbox
Thanks, I bought W O Bentley book "The cars in my life" but could find no reference, it seems that he must have used it and I was told he did a tour round France in it, but no proof .
When I was an apprentice in the Petters (old Lagonda ) factory in Staines in the early 60's I worked with several ex Lagonda employees and there were many lovely old stories about the V12 particularly and the wooden mock ups at the car exhibitions, particularly a guy called Chasemore (?) who claimed he was the liaison man between W O and the sales dept. They were interesting times.
