 I have a hunch it's named after Lord Bamford,
the founder of JCB the manufacturers of road
diggers in Gloucester,England.

His real name is Sir Anthony Bamford,with
a fortune around 950 Million GBP (Great British Pound).
Lord Bamford has a sizable collection of vintage
and historic racing and sports cars.

If anyone have seen Alain de Cadenet's
Victory by Design on Speed Channel,
it features a variety of cars which are owned by
Bamford Excavators. This is the private holding
company of Lord Bamford.

Cheers,
Simon
