SIR – We are launching an appeal to recover important pieces of motoring memorabilia related to BSM driving school.

BSM, founded in 1910, has a rich history and a unique place in the heart of the UK’s motoring story.

Unfortunately, over the years, many branded items from BSM’s history have left the company’s ownership.

It is believed these items include original BSM ‘L’ plates and driving simulators from the early 1900s, as well as old training manuals, documents and photographs.

Since BSM was acquired just over a year ago, we have worked hard to grow the brand. We’re now looking into the heritage of BSM, as it’s an important part of the business and the history of the brand, so we’d like to try to recover its historic memorabilia.

Our recent research has uncovered a number of objects including an original certificate of motoring competence from 1917 as well as a 1935 driving manual.

But from our photo archive we know that there are a great deal more BSM-related historic artefacts and we would love to at least know where they are.

If anyone can help with our appeal, please e-mail details to amnesty@bsm.co.uk.

Mark Peacock, head of BSM
