!962 Dream

Post by cadman » Thu Jun 22, 2017 11:10 am

Just acquired a 1962 Dream - it is complete but almost every chrome piece needs to be replaced. Reading the history of the Dream it says tanks shape was changed in 1963. I need the chrome side panels are they different in the earlier models? Also I notice there are lots of Bently parts available - Do some Bently parts interchange (anything that is chrome)

Thanks - Don

Hi Don

How bad are your chrome parts? If not too awful - rechroming is an option. Although the Benly parts look similar, I don't think anything fits.

Early Dreams had the 'bug eye' tank panels. Quite hard to locate these days.

This is my 1962 C72 Dream. Amazingly 250s and 305s had different tanks.

And here is my 1960 C77-A
