"My name is Greg Porter. I am a consultant specialist for Bonhams Auctioneers and a Vintage Bentley Mechanic.

I am working on a Speed Six Chassis FR2639 for a client. A few years ago in 2015 a former owner John S. Mackiernan said that he had some pictures and other information on the car. I was wondering if you could help me get in touch with him.

I also own 3 Litre chassis 1031. I will be sending you some new photos of that car soon."
