"Dear
Mr McLellan, I've been sorting through
my late father's vintage car correspondence
and find it impossible not to stop
and read all sorts of exchanges between
his fellow owners of W.O. Bentleys.
He owned a number during the '40s,
preferring them to the tinware that
was emerging post war. After a break
of a few years he started looking
again and enquired about MT 1846.
However, he did not buy it but instead
bought the 1929 ex- Prince Imeretenski
4 1/2 tourer* (body by G Wylder) from
Ken Hart. From the letter I have found
(above) MT 1846 was owned in Feb
1968 by Mr D F Ide.
For your information, my dad also
owned AG
2464 and UU
6505 but am unable to precisely
date which years during '40s or even
'50s.
*see Bentley Past & Present, Rivers
Fletcher, page 98/99.
Hope this helps fill in some gaps."
