Do you have details of the yacht that Lady Docker wanted refurbishing, then refused to pay?
She must have been a wonderful character..and to think I was in love with Lady Docker’s great niece!..

The car is now in the Louwman Collection.

I think it’s ’secondhand’ because she wasn’t able to keep it because of her hubby’s job trouble- I think Diamler ended up with it and are trying to sell it.

I wonder if this thing is still out there, somewhere, or if it ended up junked at some point in the 70s.

The bar is a nice touch. A bar, and an umbrella holder…. two more things my Chevy Cobalt doesn’t have.

The article describes every inch of the pimped ride, but doesn’t say why the car’s World’s Most Secondhand Car. Does she let a different member of the toiling masses borrow it every day?

So is she Lady Docker or Lady Nora? Jeez, even back then they didn’t bother to try to get it right.

Those who don’t like titles should not use them. They shouldn’t go out of their way to use them wrong.

Seems to be a common British design to have umbrellas contained within doors. Today’s Rolls Royce has the same arrangement as this 1956 Daimler.
