"The car is finally back on its wheels and now just waiting for the hood and leather work to be finished."

"VDP 1300 (which was originally on LM1326, Reg DW5121) is under going renovation and is on our car chassis 134. It is now on its way to the paint shop."

"Restoration of PG 5439 chassis as of December 2016. Rear axle 132 now restored and put back under the newly painted chassis 134, front axle overhauled with new king pins and bushes fitted."

"Chassis going for a couple of new hot rivets yesterday (February 2016)."

Roger and Peter Morton are restoring this car currently. Their father, Tom Morton, had purchased this car in 1955 and it has came to Roger and Peter through family ownership. Peter Morton is the registered owner of PG 5439.

Tom Morton passed away three years ago (in 2013?).

"Chassis no: 134
Engine no: 1109
Registration no: PG 5439

Body that is fitted to this car is VDP No 1300. Still in original condition, even with numbered floor boards."

"PG 5439 loaded and about to go out on the road for the first time since 1958. This time on its restoration journey. (Engine needed a rebuild so Father (Tom Morton), had put it in the garage in 1958 and polished the radiator for the rest of his time.)"

This is a 2005 painting by Gil Cohen.

Description: 1940: Flight Lieutenant Pete Brothers is greeted by his bull terrier "Merlin" on returning to RAF Biggin Hill. He is being questioned by the intelligence officer about the intense air battle that has just taken place high over Southern England. Pete's Bentley sits at dispersal with a sign on the windscreen 'Air Defence Priority' which Wing Commander Crossley Officer Commanding 32 Squadron had all the pilots display in their cars so they would not be held up in road blocks that surrounded RAF Biggin Hill... [See recent photo of Air Commodore — Flt. Lt. during the battle — Peter Bothers signing prints of this art.]

Tom Morton at his home with PG 5439 in the 1950s.

"Mother and Father preparing for the journey from Blackpool to Ashton in PG 5439, They did this journey weekly through all weathers. My Grandma bought mother a fur coat to try and keep her warm. This can be seen in the photo."

"I have a painting of a Battle of Britain air field depicting 32 squadron pilots being debriefed after a sortie. It depicts a 1926 Bentley PG 5439 in the foreground.

I believe the Bentley is owned by Roger Morton and has been in the family for a couple of generations. I would be most interested to know how it came to be in the picture. I was a schoolboy at the time of the Battle of Britain."

Chassis no. 164 was owned by Flt. Lt. Peter M. Brothers in 1940.

Excerpt from "First hand Accounts from 24 Battle of Britain Pilots"
When Luftwaffe bombers attacked North Weald airfield on a summer's day at the height of the Battle of Britain, Peter Brothers was concerned about one thing - his Bentley (chassis #134)... The Hurricane pilot stationed in Kent, then aged 22, said: "I was hopping mad. It was a beautiful Bentley Red Label. One of the bombs threw up a huge pile of earth which filled the car. It took me days to dig it out. It made me all the keener to get in the air and shoot them down."

Former vintage Bentley chassis 134 owner & WWII hero, Air Commodore (Flt. Lt. during the battle) Peter Bothers died on 18 Dec 2008, at 91 years.

"Photos dated 1938 taken near Biggin Hill, owner was Flight L T Micheal Crossley 32 squad Biggin Hill."
