In you latest newsletter you have details of a painting by Roy Nockolds. Roy painted a picture of my car in the 1960s and I wonder if you or any members know of the whereabouts of the picture. The painting was last sold at Bonhams about 5 years ago.

My car is Bentley 4½ litre registration YU 7455 chassis and engine number ST3007. Look forward to hearing from you."
