well, I've just learnt more about the Rolls Royce owner, this may go back too far for Nottstalgians ! !
The mans name was George Henry Neale, Kegworth address. His involvement with Cripps was apparently in the mid thirties so I rather think that is specific research.
Definitely on the heavy plant side, Scammels are mentioned as well as Abbey Lane.
Hello! Please tell me more! The Rolls-Royce you referred to has just been restored and now lives in Surrey. I am writing an article about its restoration for The Automobile magazine so I would like to learn as much as I can about it. The owner does not use the internet so has not undertaken much research himself, but he has obtained original factory records from the Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts' Club which confirms it was ordered through R Cripps for Mr. Neale. I am working to a very tight deadline so I would be grateful for a quick response.
