We might perhaps also use a different tyre pump; the Nesthill, although good, is rather bulky and expensive; we tried recently, as may be remembered, a hand pump known as the 'Kinsman' which was very efficient and would be easier to accomodate under the bonnet than the Nesthill. Tools for Bensport(Codename for 3 1/2-litre Bentley). These will differ from the Peregrine(Experimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine) only in the respect that no wheel spanner will be required as Rudge-Whitworth type of 'knock-on' nuts will be used.
