I think Cooke's first name was Basil. He was my fathers best friend

The passenger in Auto Car glass plate B1547 was almost certainly my father, Ken Bouckley. A young man at the time. He seems very relaxed and must have had a lot of faith in Basil Cooke's driving ability!

As I am sure you know, Slippery Anne was 'written off' in the early 1930's but miraculously, some bits have survived, including the bonnet with the name and a grasshopper motif, and these are currently being incorporated in what should be a very accurate reincarnation of the car.
