Goldie Gardner's Magnette recorded a world speed record for a light car in 1937 on the Frankfurt autobahn, Germany
Cigarette card with illustration of Major (Goldie) Gardner's Magnette recorded a world speed record for a light car in 1937 on the Frankfurt autobahn, Germany - the British-built car reached over 148 mph. The card was part of an old set of cigarette cards from WD and HO Wills, Bristol and London. The set is entitled 'Speed'. These cards were given away singly in packets of cigarettes in 1938. They were (and are still) popular collector's items - vintage nineteen thirties graphics for editorial use only.
