[/strikethrough] BENSport - BENTLEY 'B' MODEL. We are going ahead again now with the two bodies for the Bensport, as they are well on the way, and we want to get rid of them from the factory. We need a Bensport 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.
