Dear Editor, The engine details to which you refer are from: Martyn Nutland Bentley Mk VI: Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith, Silver Dawn & Silver Cloud; which you cite at the bottom. And engine data is from the Mk VI not the Mk V. The Mark V had/has an overhead inlet and overhead exhaust valve head. I have one and rebuilt the motor myself. May I suggest you refer to other authorities such as Bird & Hallowes "Rolls-Royce Motor Car" or contact P & W Wood enquiries@pa-wood.co.uk who maintain the Royal cars and are IMHO the world authority on Derby built cars. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anastigmat (talk • contribs) 22:51, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Anastigmat: Dear Anastigmat, you are very fortunate to own such a vehicle. Thank you for your contributions. The vital point to your edits (which has been missing) is a verifiable source. You mention Bird & Hallowes. Please would you provide the full name of the particular book, the page number you refer to, date of publication, publisher, location of publisher. I doubt there will be an ISBN reference unless there has been a reprint. This means any other reader who has doubts can locate your source. Just type the details on here and I will see they are entered correctly within the article. Many thanks, Eddaido (talk) 23:26, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

All I need is a page number, the rest is: The Rolls-Royce Motor-Car, Anthony Bird and Ian Hallows, B. T. Batsford, London 1964.

Right? Eddaido (talk) 23:55, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
