Snippets: The Australian Owners
The 1st owner of PH1465 was Tom Elder Barr Smith (1904/ 1968) a scion of the Barr Smith & Elder families of Australia. Robert Barr Smith & Joanna Elder first son Tom (1863/ 1941) started working for the family firm after he graduated from Cambridge University in 1885, in 1924 his son, also called Tom was sent from Australia to study at Trinity Hall, Cambridge but after 4 years and several 3 litre Bentleys later Tom Jr did not graduate! Tom was then sent to America to continue his business education, after which he returned to Australia and the family concern. PH1465 was Tom Elder Barr Smith’s 2nd Bentley 3 litre and in 1928 he sold it to Mrs. Ewing of Surbiton prior to taking delivery of his 3rd Bentley chassis No. FT3217. Alfred Ewing was an engineer & his connection with Australia was that in 1919 he was a director & subscriber of the short lived British Australian Engineering Co Ltd. This was formed in order to permit British companies to carry on the businesses of manufacturers, merchants, contractors, mechanical, mining & electrical engineers etc with Herbert C. Siddeley & R. W. Wild. Other directors of BAE Co Ltd included John A. Hirst, Robert S. Brailsford, H. J. Marshall & W. Newall, the company was placed into liquidation in 1924. It is unknown how long PH1465 was with the Ewing family as it is next heard of in 1961 with Mr. A. L. Starkie then in 1965 when it was acquired by L. A. Morgan of Hale. During the 1970s PH1465 was with A Dunkerley of Summerseat, Bury and H Pepperall of St Neots until 1982 when William (Bill) Fone of Bear Place Farm, Hare Hatch purchased the Bentley for the grand sum of £18, 250; Bear Place Farm means “Swine Pasture” and Hare Hatch is an old gate into the Royal Windsor Forest. Bill Fone kept PH1465 until1999 when it was acquired by its owner of the last twenty years.
