Lidsey} X204 Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Lid. {A. J. Lidsey} 1/KT.13.8.32. BENSPORT(Codename for 3 1/2-litre Bentley) - BENTLEY 'B' MODEL. DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /EV {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} 1/M11.8.32. No wheels have as yet been ordered for the Bensport(Codename for 3 1/2-litre Bentley); it is apparently not yet quite clear which type of wheels will be required, and none have been instructed pending a definite decision. If you will let us know what size of wheel and tyre is required, we will obtain a temporary one of the correct size, in order that the coachwork may be proceeded with.
