Circassian Walnut woodwork with ivory stringing and an impressive set of lamps & horns. The coachwork is lovely and sound. the doors closing with a pleasant ‘click'.

Snippets: Family names:
Mrs Adrian Gibson took delivery of GZR 22 in Sept 1938 at Nr 60 Park Lane. W 1. Gibson is the family name of the Barons Ashbourne and according to Webster's Royal Red Book of 1938 occupants of Park Lane included Baroness Goldsmid. Philip Sassoon (art collector & MP) & Henry Behrens (smallest man in the world).

In 1946 GZR 22 is shown as being with S. Winton Esq of Great Portland Street – Winton being the family name of the Scottish peerage of the Earls of Eglinton & Winton whose family can be traced back to the 15 th century.

Within a few months the next owner on the chassis cards is shown as being Mrs. E. Cadbury whose husband. Egbert Cadbury was a scion of the chocolate family & a decorated WWI pilot.

During the 1930 s & 40 s the family resided at Beacon Lodge in Lymington which had been built for Colonel Francis Adams DSO appeared to continually rent the property out – tenants included Bishop Bloomfield (Bishop of London). the Hon Grant Berkeley (1800/81) he proposed that ladies be allowed in the gallery at the House of Commons Sir William Goshen (British Ambassador for Germany) & Sir William Gordon QC.

It would seem that the Cadbury's enjoyed their time at Beacon Lodge with neighbours recalling how they would fire the cannon on a regular basis! In 1950 GZR 22 had moved down the coast to be with Harry John Loveless a Veterinary Surgeon.
