    Hatton Motors

    Speirs

    I am trying to locate the wherabouts of Malcolm David Speirs, formerly of Birmingham. Must have been born in the 40s and may have moved from the Midlands around the mid 60s. Might also have been at Birmingham Uni around 1963, not necessarily as a student, but possibly even just working there.
