Honeyman - Retail orders} } X 204 DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}1/M13.9.32. Copy to - Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} BENSPORT ACCESSORIES. In order to complete the two bodies for Bensport which are almost finished, we need some accessories, and while eventually we hope to find some special lamps for this car we have been unable to do so so far. The Rotax people will make us any lamp we like, or we can use any lamp that they specially prepare for any other maker, such as Talbot. In order to finish up the first two cars we are proposing to use Lucas accessories as follow: Head lamps - 2 sets of R.160 S.E.D.S. Side lamps. - 2 sets of Lucas Streamline. Tail lamp. - 2 sets of the latest combined lamp. Scuttle rail lamp - 2 sets of our latest pattern. Would you please arrange for these to be supplied to Messrs Park Ward & Co. Ltd.
