Description

Dudley Noble was a pioneer in the early days of motoring and achieved fame in January 1930 when he publicised the Rover brand by racing a Rover and “Le train bleu” on the train’s 750-mile run between Calais and Cannes. The idea of racing the Blue Train was popular with motor enthusiasts and Dudley Noble was the first to succeed in beating the train.
