Bentley 10,000 Miles Test Car No.5.B.IV.
Side Spare Wheel Carrier.
Although Item 9 in the specification for the above calls for Side Spare Wheel Carrier to N.Scheme 3720-1, We are instructing a later design to R.R.Scheme 668, which is the stiffer type to prevent the wheel vibrating about.
Will you please alter your records accordingly.
