Thanks for your Da {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /Ev. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} 14/N8.6.39, etc., re the above, and as requested, we have handed a copy of the note on the predicted performance of the Corniche(Bentley streamline(Experimental Streamline Bentley B.23.A.E)d precursor to R Type Continental, never produced) to Mr Paulin. I have noted with interest the figures you mention, but am of the opinion that something ought to be done to make the "Corniche(Bentley streamline(Experimental Streamline Bentley B.23.A.E)d precursor to R Type Continental, never produced)" do 110 Miles per hour, with a lap speed of 105 m.p.h.
