The 1 st owner of B 170 GA was David Eccles – (a descendant of John Mc Adam. the road builder) - book collector. politician. author & company director.

His home in 1936 was that of 20 Montagu St. W 1 which he shared with his glamorous wife Sybil (daughter of Bertram Dawson. physician to 4 Kings - Edward VII & VIII. George V & VI) and their 3 children.

Residents of Montagu Street included S. H. Whitbread (brewing). 2 nd Earl of Cromer (Barings Bank). 5 th Earl Lucan (Grandfather of the notorious Lord Lucan). Col Stern (botanist). 3 rd Baron O'Neill. Smith (Samuel Smith & Co Bank). politicians & several widows of the nobility – Dowager Countess of Jersey & Countess of Mayo.

According to the chassis cards in 1951 B 170 GA was with Mr. Vasey-Ash of Ravens Craig Manor in Middlewich. Cheshire – this building dates from 1907 but little can be found about the property or the family.

The area around Middlewich is famous for its salt – it was one of the Roman's major salt sites & was known by them as Salinae. it is thought that the word Salary is derived from Salt as part of a soldier's salary was an allowance for the purchase of salt which was an expensive item hence the phrase “being worth one's salt”!
