1920 to 1925

By January 1920, the First World War was over and Bamford and Martin moved into more spacious premises at 53 Abingdon Road. This was the home of the company for the next 5 years until it was taken into receivership in 1925. During this time a total of 60 cars were built, many for racing and in particular the pair of 1922 Grand Prix cars, one of which survives to this day. The site is now home to luxury houses and has been named ‘Vantage Place’. There is a plaque now attached to the development which shows ‘Green Pea’, one of those 1922 Grand Prix cars.
