Lt. Col. Brian Mylchreest was fairly famous.

Mylchreests web site.

Mylchreests Group begins trading, specialising in cars produced by the British Motor Corporation—brands such as Austin, Morris, Riley, MG, and Wolseley.

Mylchreests is invited to provide the Roads Open car for the world famous TT Races.
