"I was wondering
if you had any record of XW 3623,
it was owned by Edward Coe in the
1930s. Edward Coe was founder member
and Scout Master of the 1st Norwich
Sea Scout group. The group still has
the art above, and the steering wheel
and Bentley badge."
Text below the drawing:
"This is to record our appreciation
of the 3 litre Bentley No. XW 3623
owned and driven by our skipper, Capt.
E.H. Coe, M.C.
It was our privilege to drive and
care for this aristocrat among cars,
designed and built by those whose
name and reputation will always rank
first in the history of cars on road
and track.
We have known other cars more powerful,
some more elegant perhaps, and a few
even faster, but there was something
about the Bentley which these others
lacked -- an indefinable air of good
breeding plus a tradition of bull-dog
toughness, gained by repeated successes
in motor racing.
And now that XW 3623 must pass on,
may its proud spirit find honourable
rest in the peaceof the 'pleasant
parking-places'."
