Dear Sir,
I am making contact to enquire if you have any records relating to the above car.
It was purchased for my late father in law Victor Charles Slater as a 21st birthday present by his father in 1937.
In 1939 he joined the RAF as he held a private pilots licence.He joined number 37 squadron and did 30 bombing operations before being posted to the Empire Flying School in Canada where he trained pilots for the RAF.
He returned to the UK in 1945 and used the car as his normal transport until about 1951 when he sold it to a friend.We have a number of period photos of the car which we could send to the current owner if you have any records of the car.
Kind Regards
Paul Marsh.
