Here are some sketches done by one of the lads at the Works on the CornicheBentley streamlineExperimental Streamline Bentley B.23.A.Ed precursor to R Type Continental, never produced.

I saw Pomeroy the other day and he expressed a desire to have these pictures for publication, if they could be released. Perhaps you would hand them on to him, if you agree.

The artist hopes - somewhat optimistically - that he will be rewarded by "The Motor" for his industry.

Enclosures.
