As can be seen from the original old buff logbook It was originally purchased by the 2nd Duke of Westminster in 1939 and spent most of its life on his Estate. His Grace wanted the larger one so that he could have more leg room. He was well over 6 foot. He liked the full length opening roof as he could put his salmon rod through and drive from Lochmore Lodge [his summer home in Sutherland. north west Scotland] down to his river. the Laxford. During the war the Fiat was taken to Ireland. After the war he took the fiat to Eaton Hall. his residence in Cheshire When the Duke died in 1953 it was kept at Lochmore Lodge.
