I have discussed the question of storing a copy of all drawings with Mattinson. he tells me he has a complete series of B.V. drawings. He now requires L.O.P's of any parts required to make the senior rationalised range of motor cars that are not contained in the B.V. specification. Briefly this will consist of 8 cyl. and the four 6-cyl. high power engines; semi-floating axle and steel wheels; bonnet, radiator and frame drawings for 33.G.6. 2-RT-2. 2-RT-2 converted to Bentley; 11.B.V. There is no rationalised Corniche at the moment since we have not fitted one of these cars with a high power engine. The best thing Mtn. can do in the case of this car is to file the drawings to the production specification of the Corniche cars that were turned out pre-war.
