There are a number of Corniche(Bentley streamline(Experimental Streamline Bentley B.23.A.E)d precursor to R Type Continental, never produced) units on production which have been passed off test, and are therefore already in chassis. These induction pipes will have to be removed and drilled accordingly. This is simply due to the fact that the production pieces became available weeks ahead of the experimental pieces.
