The next known owner of the car was "The Garage" in Walsham le Willows, Suffolk in 1960. I had assumed that there was some information missing, but it's quite possible that the Colonel kept it and it was sold in Suffolk.

Now that I have so much info I can go to the Police and ask if they have anything on the Colonel that I can look at. Might even find a period photo of the car (which is the ultimate goal!).

I can also try and find some living relatives to see if they have any photos.

Brilliant.

I looked at that site and they have a history group - definitely worth a phone call.

The car was sold on in 1968. During it's time in W le W it had the rear half of its body chopped off and replace with a wooden flatbed truck body. It was used as a garage hack!

You never know, they might be able to find me a photo of it in that state - which will probably upset me  >:(

And I will research the man a bit too. He does sound interesting - very much a part of the car's history, especially if he kept it from 1928 to 1960 - that's a LONG time to own a car..

By the looks of this site you could chase his family  back to 1373 !

http://newsite.stirnet.com/HTML/genie/british/cc4aq/coke02.htm

It has all the names: Sacheverall, Coke, D'Ewes, Jacynth, Fitzherbert

Cheers  ;D

She has a name  :)

Annabel.

She was named after the daughter of the man who restored her in the late seventies.

Not sure if that's the right garage, the name's definitely not right. Having said that, how many garages are there in a town that size :)

Thanks for that site Ambly.

Wish we could find a picture of the man on the net (we  is lookin') , if not the car - then we could imagine him in the car ! Then  , Aston.. you could even take a snap of the car, and then get Rootschat advise as to how to merge 2 photos so you do end up with him in the car    ;D ;D ;D Not very Authentic tho!   Have you got a website with a picture of a similar car just to whet our automobilic appetites?  

On a more solemn note:
They served  their country well  :(

Very few period pictures of this type of car exist. The production figures have been lost, but there are only 11 left (that we know about) worldwide. The only pictures I've found on the net are brochure copies.
