EDITORS COMMENTS
reports on Britain's first veteran car museum, established by the esteemed Lord Montagu of Beaulieu. Housed in his grand estate, this unique collection showcases a fascinating glimpse into the early days of automotive history. Among the exhibits, an 1898 Daimler Tourer, its elegant lines and intricate details a testament to the ingenuity of the era. An 1895 Leon Bollee Tri-car, with its innovative three-wheeled design, stands out as a pioneering vehicle. A 1898 Benz, one of the earliest gasoline-powered automobiles, completes the trio of rare and historic vehicles. Lord Montagu's collection does not only include these remarkable cars, but also the original silver Rolls-Royce mascot, the Spirit of Ecstasy, adding an extra layer of automotive history and prestige. The Montagu Motor Car Trophy, a coveted award for vintage car rallies, is another notable exhibit. In the photograph, Lord Montagu waves cheerfully from the driver's seat of his 1903 de Dion Bouton estate car. Still in use as an estate car, this vehicle demonstrates Lord Montagu's dedication to preserving the history of automobiles, as he continues to add to his collection and share it with the public. This reportage in "The Illustrated London News" offers a captivating look into the world of vintage cars and the passion of one man who has dedicated his life to their preservation. The cars, each with their own stories to tell, stand as a testament to the ingenuity, innovation, and allure of the early days of automotive transport.
