Subject: Re: History of 155
Fascinating Mark; 155 was sold by Brooklands of Bond Street London (order number 14090) and was delivered to them on 16 Jan 64 (actually the papers say 1963 but that is clearly a clerical error). Their record for the car does not show the name of the first owner (although some do), which might lend weight that for some cars which have presumed early history might indeed have a slightly different version. It would be interesting to know what is detailed on the original build sheet at Aston Service Dorset

That same record also suggests while 155 was the last car built it was not the last car ordered. 156 (or perhaps higher) would have been a manual car, Carribean Pearl with Grey interior for a Mr Canham. And there is some evidence of a subsequent car with legible details lost in photocopying and then scanning years ago (the bottom of the page has been copped off)
