Bentley chassis KF2378 in the 1940s

Contributed by Michael Binns

 

KF2378 was bought by John Norris from John Neville Morris in March 1945. John Norris was a personal friend of my father and between them they tracked down a lot of history on the car. My file includes details of engine rebuilds including every receipt and letter written or received from garages during its ownership by John Norris. I have attached a copy of power of attorney (below) required to reclaim the car from Pierre Macareal after he has tragically killed, racing at Le Mans.
