Maurice Hatley's Bentley
"This car, UC 1940 was bought during WW2. She is a Black Label, 4.0 litre. Dad (Maurice Hatley, 1920-2013) and a friend went up to Reading from Chandler’s Ford by train. They carried two 5 gallon cans of petrol wrapped up in potato sacks, the war being on!
The house they had to go to was situated on the River Thames. It was in a derelict state with the front missing and the cars were stored on the ground floor, hoists were in the rooms on the second floor to remove the engines and work on them upstairs.
The car was driven back to Chandler’s Ford, running out of petrol a little way from home, how the lads reached home is not known.
Dad had built himself a workshop on the site next door to his home, Brooklyn, Hursley Road. Who to or when he sold it is not known." |
