EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}2/7.12.32. cont'd.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary}

The general impression was that the model has considerably improved since it first came out and that the performance is extremely good for a 2 1/4 litre engine. 2511 c.c.

There is little doubt that Bensport will be an infinitely better car with much greater refinement, and a much better performance in that its engine is 3660 c.c. or 46% bigger.
