Glenelg.
A few of these chassis only were manufactured and all were fitted with Dunlop Wheel - Code LP.572.
---------------------------------------------
On the Glenalmond and Glendale models, from approximately May, 1963, quite a large number of these chassis were produced on Rubery Owen Wheels. The code number of the wheel is C.2692 and the reason for introducing this wheel was to avoid the surcharge which Dunlop applied to nude wheels, I.E. loose wheels without tyres.

It is not possible to confirm the exact starting date, but on any wheels fitted to any of the above chassis it is always possible to ascertain the code number by removing the tyre and tube when it will be found that the code number is stamped in the base of the rim wheel.
