Peter Kohler records two versions. The Lenton Sports No. 25 was part of the first post-war range in March 1946 and was withdrawn in spring 1947. A new Lenton Sports, No. 28, was introduced at the November 1948 British Cycle and Motorcycle Show, and Kohler gives its production as 1949–1963; a Reg Harris Road Model is recorded for 1955. Rudge, Humber and Triumph sold versions under their own names.
NoteKohler gives two different model numbers in different years (25, then 28).
