John Morris' Speed Six Bentley KF2378

Contributed by Sebastian Sharples (Grandson of former owner)

 

My grandfather John Neville Morris owned KF2378 during the 1930s and 40s and remodelled it during that period. He worked as Chief Designer at SU Carburettors in Birmingham and was best friends with Alec Issigonis, (helping him along with Alex Moulton on the design of the Mini).

 

I have my grandmother's album but some of the dates and places are a bit vague. He sold the car to (his near namesake), John Norris in 1945.
