Purchased and registered by W. Bignold, Peaslake, Surrey, 9/5/34, with registered number BPF 868.

Registered to John David Smith, Husthwhaite, Yorkshire, no date available, but pre 30/4/65.

Owned by Martin and Pauline Slater, Coventry, 6/98 – 8/03. Restored by Martin during this period.

Owned by Andy and Julie Paynter (Humberstone, Leicestershire) and Andy King, 8/03 – 4/5/07.

Bought by Peter A. Meyer, 4/5/07 and subsequently imported to Australia. Registered PA 0819 on 19/09/07 (BPF 868 was still in use, or reserved, in Victoria!).

The car restorer, Martin Slater, subsequently died, and despite an approach from Bob Clare (MMM Registrar) to his widow to see if he left any records, no response was forthcoming, and I therefore have no idea what engine, gearbox and other transmission components were used in the restoration.
