BTM459L was registered on 28th March 1973 and owned by a Peter May in Neew Bradwell, near Milton Keynes. It appears Peter moved to Scotland (Dundee and
Lanark) before selling BTM on 12th June 1976 to a Winston Gregson of Stockport, who owned the car for less than 3 months before it moved on again to a
Christopher Lewis of Weybridge (we're getting around the UK a bit here - I do wonder as to the circumstances behind this!).
Mr Lewis had the car for exactly 13 years before it came into the hands of Chris Jones of Abingdon who I bought the car from. It had been dry stored for
some time, the engine had seized and had no sills. Chris had advertised in the Oxford Mail and a colleague where I work, who had a Spitfire knew I had once
owned one too and had always wanted a GT6. At first Chris said he didn't want to sell and then, just as I had given up, he called me and she was mine! I've
had BTM for over 10 years now, though she rusted in my drive until I found money and a garage to put things right.
Am currently hoping to have her on the road in full glory before the summer is out.
If anyone has come into contact with BTM over the years, I would be glad to hear about it.
