re Bentley Experimental Car.

Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 19/E1.4.35

I am in receipt of Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 2/MJ.30.3.35 and quite agree to the proposal of removing the streamline(Experimental Streamline Bentley B.23.A.E)d body from the Experimental body car and having a standard saloon instead.

I am asking Hn. {F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} to let you know how soon they will be ready to mount and fit the standard body.

I think that we have got all the use we can out of the streamline(Experimental Streamline Bentley B.23.A.E)d body and the best thing to do will be to scrap it.
