C. to SG. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} WOR. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} re. BENSPORT(Codename for 3 1/2-litre Bentley) BODIES. We send herewith N. schemes 3478/9., shewing the design of the Sports Saloon, and the Sports Open Tourer, which we have ordered from Messrs Park Ward & Co. for the first two Bensport(Codename for 3 1/2-litre Bentley) chassis. These represent what will be most probably the two stock types of coachwork, but we may have to consider an ultra sporting saloon of the two door type, and a design will be made for this in due course. Will you please send us two prints, and return the originals. DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /EV. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
