J. Lidsey}1/KT.13.8.32. BENSPORT - 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; 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.
