Classic cars forum & vehicle restoration.

[Buller727]

Hello,
First of all I would like to thank you for an outstanding website-EXCELENT!!!! I am the owner of a Rolls Royce from 1935 and I would like to get in contact with relatives of the first/ previous owners-maybe they have photos and a god story to tell of the car and maybe they would be glad to hear that there old car is still alive and kicking. I live in Denmark and here it is pretty easy to find relatives if you have names and address, but I’m not sure if that are the same in England. I have the names and addresses of the first owners but I don’t know what to do with them-PLEASE help if you can.

Best Regards

Buller

Hi

Send a letter to the adress, there is a chance the desendants are still there, or may know where they moved on to, etc.

Otherwise it is a matter of research, and the net is a good place to start, maybe a club etc, with your chassis number, factory records may be stored with someone.

Cheers

Dave

What area of England? We may have a mole in the vicinity who could make some enquiries.

The owner, Henning Gravesen, has sent me the list reproduced below. I wondered if any kind Forum members could investigate any previous owners in their area.
Also could anyone decipher the letters & numbers after each record? C.M.G, & D.S.O. are presumably military awards; the numbers e.g. 14.3.36 are presumably dates of acquisition, but what about the rest?
