I'm writing to you on behalf of my father, Felix Hartmann, who is the lucky owner of a vintage Bentley.

Quite recently, some information and pictures have been posted about his Bentley on your website. In order to complete your wonderful website, I' d like to add some information, which you could post to his Bentley on http://www.vintagebentleys.org/carpages/xu9914.php

"I'm the lucky owner of this Bentley. It has been in my possession since 1973 and I have spent almost a lifetime caring for this beautiful car. It stands in a small private motorcar museum in Sargans, Switzerland. Thank you very much for the pictures and information about my car. As I'm trying to reconstruct the history of my Bentley, every bit of information and every picture is of immense value to me." - Felix Hartmann, Sargans, Switzerland.
