A delightful. tall. upright. traditionally coach built limousine. with masses of character and period charm. We last sold this car in 1996. since when it has spent most of the time in a Museum. and has consequently covered very little mileage. The body is wonderfully sound. and incorporates some appealing features. such as a peak over the windscreen. a wood fillet surrounding the roof. and various silver plated fittings. The interior is scruffy but correct. original and appealing. The car has correct 21" wheels. with the facility to carry a second spare on the rear. as well as a trunk. if required. There are a selection of correct tools. some carried in the fitted trays in the offside running board. and others under the front seats. Running nicely. and offered re-commissioned. serviced and Mo T tested.
Chassis No. GAJ 38.
Reg No. YT 3780.
£36. 00.
Snippets:
Miss Marsha Swan took delivery of GAJ 38 at 8 Upper Brook Street. Grosvenor Square London.
Obviously a lady of means we wonder if she has a family connection to the Duke of Somerset & his family – in 1915 Nr 8 Upper Brook Street was lived in by Lady Geraldine Somerset (daughter of the 8 th Duke by his 2 nd wife). the link is the son of the 12 th Duke - Edward Adolphus Ferdinand who had an affair with a Rosina Swan resulting in a son & daughter – Richard & Ruth.
Edward died in 1869 & Rosina a few years later.
Although the union was not formalised it was acknowledged by the 12 th Duke & Duchess as Richard & Rosina became their wards and were given the family surname of St. Maur. living with their grandparents at Bullstrode Park.
Upon the death of the 12 th Duke (1885) Ruth inherited a fortune of some £80. 00 and went to live with her aunt Lady Guendolen Somerset (later Ramsden) in Upper Brook St.
In 1887 Ruth was launched into society by her aunt & in her 1 st season she met & married William George Frederick Cavendish-Bentinck with their sons becoming the 8 th & the 9 th Dukes of Portland.
