Since the numerical part is generally allocated sequentially, the date from King’s book is confirmed, the next series of Staffordshire plates commencing at XRE 1 in March ‘52. At that time the Staffordshire indices were RE and RF, the first alphabetical character being again a sequence A, B, C... W, X, etc. <br /> <br />King’s book shows only one Bentley agent in the county, namely Attwood’s Garage, on the Lichfield Road in the county town of Stafford. This outfit is now defunct, unfortunately, and its premises have been replaced by a roundabout, which is a shame from one point of view, but greatly hastens my journeys to the shops! Attwood also had premises in Wolverhampton, which was in the Staffordshire administrative area at that time, but that town, now a city, had its own indices DA, JW, and UK one of which would have appeared on the car had the W’ton people supplied it. <br /> <br /><a href="https://www.search.staffspasttrack.org.uk/Details.aspx?&ResourceID=3433&SearchType=2&ThemeID=269" target="_blank">https://www.search.staffspasttrack.org.uk/Details.aspx?&ResourceID=3433&SearchType=2&ThemeID=269</a> <br /> <br /><a href="https://www.search.staffspasttrack.org.uk/Details.aspx?&ResourceID=28064&PageIndex=4&SearchType=2&ThemeID=245" target="_blank">https://www.search.staffspasttrack.org.uk/Details.aspx?&ResourceID=28064&PageIndex=4&SearchType=2&ThemeID=245</a> <br /> <br /> <br /><a href="http://www.thepotteries.org/allpotters/16.htm" target="_blank">http://www.thepotteries.org/allpotters/16.htm</a></span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Ewan Gallie</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Sat Apr 03, 2021 2:33 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">From Bernard King's 'Bentley MkVI' <br /> <br />Chassis: B 329 NY <br />Eng.: B414N <br />Dlvd.: March 1952 <br />Coachbuilder: Bentley Motors <br />Colour: Bergers Black <br />Body: 5120 <br />First owner: V.G.H.Alcock/Vulcan Pottery <br />Reg.: WRF 831 <br /> <br />The most recent recorded owner seems to be with the name Barret in UK in 1967. <br /> <br />Hope some of the above might be helpful. <br />Ewan</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Neil Melville-Rae</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Sat Apr 03, 2021 1:09 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Mark VI chassis B329NY</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">I am hoping somebody can help please.
