A 1935 MG NA MAGNETTE CUTS A DASH WITH A LIST OF GLAMOROUS OWNERS.  The first owner of this delightful two-tone example was American showgirl, dancer and actress Hazel Forbes-Richmond. After 3 years, she sold it to fellow thespian Frank Forest, an American operatic tenor and actor who enjoyed success in the 1930s and 1940s. Title passed to Californian-based Ward Kimball. Ward Kimball was a prominent animator for Walt Disney, who worked on films such as Pinocchio, Fantasia, Snow White, Alice in Wonderland, and Bednobs and Broomsticks.

Often regarded as the finest of W.O.Bentley’s efforts (and let us not forget this is one with an exceptional Curriculum Vitae), the Lagonda V12 was by far the standout British model of its day, seated firmly in an exclusive club of 1930s road cars that could exceed 100mph in standard tune.

It is remarkable to think of the effect the E-Type had on the world when launched in 1961. At a time when 70 mph was considered perfectly rapid enough for a family car, here was a British-built sports car which could hit a claimed 150mph!

Paintings by the British artist captured the hearts of many followers including Royalty
