"I am trying to gather facts and write about my rather mysterious and obviously speed loving and wealthy Great Aunt Miss Nora (Hardy) McCaw.
She owned many Bentleys in the 1930s. Details of the W.O. Bentley can be seen below:
GN 6090 (Blower)
GJ 7597 (4� Litre)
GX 2338 (8 Litre)
GK 8443 (perhaps the most famous of all The Green Hornet.)
I think there are more and then she moved on to Rolls Royces in the 1950s.
Is there any way you can search your records for past owners? You obviously have the most fabulous data base and I wondered if you can help me in my quest to track down some of her cars?"
