DB3S/110 was supplied on 22 November 1955 to main agent Brooklands of Bond St. Its first owner was George Stanley Marino Harrocks, a pre-War triallist who entered events simply as ‘SM Harrocks’. A little-known fact about ‘SM’ is that during WW2 he was a member of an elite commando unit, the British Special Boat Service, though his wartime missions remain shrouded in secrecy.

The DB3S was registered SLC 626 on 17 March 1956, the plate it bears today.
