Snippets – Gun Roller to Emperor's Gate

After being used as Jack Barclay's show car the first private owner of B 36 EF was Arthur David Tipper who part exchanged his second-hand 1932 Rolls-Royce 20/25 (GMU 8) which was initially owned by the legendary Capt Woolf Barnarto! Arthur's father Joseph & uncle Henry Powell Tipper were involved in the steel business & in whose footsteps Arthur followed.

In 1865 Henry Tipper patented “improvements in manufacturing gun barrels & tubes of cast steel & iron” & 57 years later Arthur applied for patents in his name relating to sash windows. door latches. door locks. door hooks & metal brackets.

It would seem that after only 3 years B 36 EF was with J Duncan of Knightsbridge Court in London this building was built in the late 1920 s to replace Nrs 9-16 Sloane Street.

In 1969 there is a note in the file that F M Campbell of the Rhine Co. based at Sandhurst was the owner.

From 1976 to 1993 B 36 EF was with a noted European collector who sold his collection due to ill-health.

The most recent owner had a home at 47 Emperor's Gate. London Nrs 37-47 were built in 18758 by Henry Harris & the street was named in honour of the German Kaiser.

The owner's other home was in the village of St. Martin Des Boscherville where Louis Fabulet (1872/1933) lived whilst he translated “The Jungle Book” by Rudyard Kipling .
