This car came into the ownership of Kevin Cochrane in 2002.

Kevin Cochrane: "This car was left to me by my good friend Maurice Brockwell on his untimely passing. In his ownership it competed in the 1998 Louis Viton Classic China Rally, 2000 Gordon Bennett Rally Ireland, 2000 BDC European Tour including Le Mans plus many Australian runs.

In my ownership it has done 2003 Gordon Bennett and Tour of Ireland, 2003 BDC Le Mans, and afterwards used to tour Europe and UK for 5 weeks, 2004 BDC of Western Australia National Meet, 2006 NZ Vero Rally and touring NZ for 3 weeks and is used regularly locally in rallies. It is very reliable and never let me down and a joy to drive with a lot of miles under its belt"

"These are the pictures I have, they are were taken from my Grandma's photo album. My Grandma is present in one of these photos.

My Grandfather was Deryck K. Morley and owned an Alfa Romeo dealership in Ilkeston, Derbyshire. I have been told he was a member of the Bentley Owners Club and, fully restored YO 9669. It was then sold and taken to America.

I could ask my Grandma for more information if required."
