"I think that my father, John Douglas, owned it from the late fifties to the mid-sixties. Here are a couple of photographs."
Robert C. McLellan, 24 December 2012
"As far as ownership of Chassis AP311 during the late fifties to the mid-sixties, I cannot verify ownership by Dr. Mayne so you may be correct. I was told by Burdick but say no records. I knew Ford but he died and I do not know much about the three Bentley that Ford owned. Ford put a strange body on AP311 when I saw the car. Burdick bought all three cars and the last I saw of AP311 was when I took the photos that you see abovee. It will be interesting to see your photos as it was when your father had it."
Philip Douglas, 26 December 2012
"We have had some discussions within the family, and when John Douglas sold the Bentley it was indeed exported to the States. There is some recollection that a business colleague, Marshall Long of Kansas, helped with the sale, but we cannot be certain of that. Consequently the ownership record is probably not incorrect, just incomplete, but I imagine that that is normal."
