Calling all "Truckophiles1 On 23 October CV history buffs will have the chance to bid for a unique piece of history at an auction to be held at Chilford Hall, Linton, near Cambridge. Among the lots going under the hammer will be the Pat Kennett Archive Collection, built up by the late, great founding editor of Truck magazine who sadly died last year. Among the haul is a fine selection of old workshop manuals, industry books, promotional material, radiator badges, clothing, historic press releases, technical brochures and models.
However, the jewel In the crown is undoubtedly the photographic collection, representing all the black and white pictures taken by Pat while editor of Truck The purchaser will acquire all title and copyright, and Pat's wife Carol has agreed that he or she will also be able to describe and sell the pictures as "from the Pat Kennett Archive", in memory of her late husband.
It's nice to know that Pat's name lives on through his collection— and the new owner will have an archive to treasure.
