CBM 199

[Bob Bull]

Can anyone shed light on CBM 199, and it's current whereabouts? The car was owned and rallied by David Webb up until 1938, his grandson would e nterested to know. Pictures from the period may be availale.
Ta ever so,

Bob.

Correction, the gentleman was Frank Webb, not David, and I have scanned-in six period photos of the car in action.

Hopefuly this may jog a memory.

Hi Bob,
If you email me the images I will put them up for you on BHP.
Otherwise click on the tab below that says Attachments and it explains how to add an image to your post.

Mary, the photos have a copyright stamp, and might caue problems, as still possibly 'owned'.

[Mary Lindsay]

You could use them and accompany the photos with an acknowledgement to the copyright holder.
You are clearly not using the photos for profit.

I searched DVLA records and there is no record of any road tax or MOT or SORN.

Doesn't mean it's not out there though - somewhere...?!

Cheers,

Mark

I thought you lot ( ) knew eveything about every Morgan ever made. Does no one rmember Frank Webb?

[Mark Shears]

Hi Bob,

You could ask his namesake Martyn Webb.

As you probably know he is the archivist at the Morgan Motor Co.

I have got his contact details if you need them - just get in touch...

Or will see you at The Leathern Bottle at Lewknor on Saturday 7th February.

Cheers,

Mark

Thank you, Mark, the chap who is the grandson, actually came in to fix a freezer door for me, and notced my motorsport picures, and my Ruby Plaque (Thanks to all who signed), "My grandfather owned a Morgan", he said and quoted the Reg number instantly. He subsequently brought round the original photos of Fank in hs MG, and later Flat Rad, I have enhanced the pictures as best I can, and gave him a nice shiny A4 copy of the best one, he is going to send me datails of his grandad, which I will use to write an article for Miscellany, if Charles thinks it ineresting enough. Therefore it would be nice to learn more about the history of CBM 199, I understand that Frank owned it up to 1938, but not what happened to it, but a lot of cars were probably destroyed in the war. I will try and talk to Martyn Webb, who knows he might be related.

Life does not need to get boring at 88 years
