Bath Road Market (formerly Robert Young's)

"I was fascinated to find and read the piece about Naunton Nurseries at 252 Bath Road, Cheltenham and its owner Robert Young. In 1960 my late father bought a 2 year old Wolseley 6/90 from Steels of Cheltenham, the original owner was Robert Young and I have a letter from him to my father explaining why he sold the car, due to his leg injury he felt he now needed an automatic and had traded the car in for a new Wolseley 6/99 automatic.
The real point is that I still have the Wolseley, UDG 163, it remains in regular use and I have long wanted to find out more about Mr. Young and to know whether he had children and whether any descendants may have any pictures of the car. I can supply a scan of the letter and a picture of the car and would love to hear back. Also, does anyone know anything about Steels, the car still carries their enamel plate inside the glove box. My Dad loved the Wolseley, it was his pride and joy, as it is now mine, I was 3 1/2 when Dad bought it for £745."
