"...I thought
you would like to know that I visited
Sweden on holiday a couple of weeks
ago and was gobsmacked to bump into
16 W.O. Bentleys on a two-week holiday!
We followed them for a while and filmed
them with a camcorder..." |

"Hello Robert,
I've been given another old photo of my car, chassis 333. Thought you might like to
add it to your register.
Nick Poll."
==
"Hi Nick
My family thinks this photo was taken on Cleethorpes promenade
sometime between 1950 and 1955. The best guess is that it may have been a parade
during the coronation celebrations. At the time the car was owned by Mr
Marshall (you probably already have this info). He came from a family of
wealthy landowners and farmers who also owned the Victoria Flour Mill and the
Blue Star Garage.
My Grandfather is the gentleman in the rear right seat.
His name was David Gentle and when the War broke he stopped working on the Fly
Scotsman and started work assembling jeeps (British and later American). When
the war ended he started working for Mr Marshall at his Blue Star
Garage.
Later he set up his own garage the Hawthorne Service Station and
worked that until he retired.
I remember this photo as a child and have only
just unearthed it.
If you have any more info about the car then I’d love to
hear about it.
Best regards
Marc" |
