  According to Michael Hay (1997) chassis no. TN1555 was rebuilt into chassis AD3651. (Therefore Chassis TN1555 does not exist as an independent chassis any more. — VintageBentleys.org, February 24, 2016)

"These BDC records seem outdated and were not correct in 2003 / 2006 (which state Chassis no. TN1555 and Reg No. TS 6223).

Note that Michael Hay, in his book Bentley: The Vintage Years, 1997, stated that this chassis TN1555 had been built into chassis AD3651. Therefore, Reg. TS 6223 could not possibly have been linked with Chassis TN1555 as late as 1997." — VintageBentleys.org

"This photo was taken in 1968 approximately. My father Tom Morton owned the car and is pictured in the photo. He purchased the car in the condition as per photo having known this car in the 1950s as a very quick and sporty looking car. I have a list of previous owners who lived around Manchester in the 1950s and will copy all the history that I have and forward it to yourself." — Roger Morton
