Early design sketch?
For a talk about good design I'm looking for an early design sketch of Wilks' first ideas. Legend has it he drew it in the sand or on a napkin Smile A friend of mine who has all the books just caught a cold. So I'd be grateful for any pictures.

It was Alec Issigonis that sketched the Mini on a napkin.

Yes, in the sand... but you can get a very good idea by looking at this:

Thank you. I was looking for the sketch to teach young developers that you don‘t need fancy tools to do a good design (it‘s about software design actually, but in this case the car metaphore is more catchy Smile
