Connected Car
I have known David and his family for years, but I had no idea about his associations with Jacob’s. David explained that it was actually a Model T Ford being driven out of a Zeppelin crater – just as curious. The Bate family had relocated to Heybridge from London. As well as running the car business, during the Great War TS Bate was also a member of the local volunteers. Instead of Model Ts, they sold Austins and MGs and then, in the 1970s, became a prestigious BMW franchise.
