| HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /EV. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} X 204 DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /EV {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} 1/M11.8.32. C. to - BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} BENSPORT(Codename for 3 1/2-litre Bentley) - BENTLEY 'B' MODEL. We are going ahead again now with the two bodies for the Bensport(Codename for 3 1/2-litre Bentley), as they are well on the way, and we want to get rid of them from the factory. We need a Bensport(Codename for 3 1/2-litre Bentley) wheel and tyre to enable us to fit up the spare wheel recessed into the rear panel of the luggage boot. We also need a dummy hub similar to that which you supplied for the 20/25, but to suit the 'knock on' wheels. We would like to have these as soon as possible. We are not attempting to cut the instrument board, but merely fixing a large board in position for you to fit the instruments, as no decision has yet been taken as to what shall be fitted.
