Montagu Lord, also known as John Scott Montagu, was a man of many passions and accomplishments. In 1910, he could be seen proudly posing with his Rolls Royce Silver Ghost outside Palace House, showcasing his love for exquisite automobiles. A true lover of cars, Lord Montagu was often captured in the company of iconic vehicles throughout history. In 1899, an enchanting photograph shows him alongside Prince Charles in a Daimler car - a moment frozen in time that reflects his connection to royalty and influential circles. Fast forward to 1968 at Beaulieu, where Lord Montagu is seen next to James Mathieson and Barry Hale with an Austin Champ - a testament to his involvement in the automotive world. Even as a child in 1966, Lord Montagu's passion for cars shone through as he posed with delight in a Vauxhall pedal car. This early fascination would later manifest itself when he is photographed cruising through London in the mid-1960s behind the wheel of a Mini. But it wasn't just about luxury vehicles for Lord Montagu; he had no qualms about getting down on his hands and knees to scrub floors at Palace House in 1952. This humble act showcased not only his dedication but also exemplified the depth of character possessed by this remarkable man. Throughout his life, Lord Montagu found himself surrounded by famous faces. From Peter Sellers and Britt Ekland visiting Beaulieu in 1966 to sharing moments with The Wombles during the opening of Beaulieu Monorail in 1974 - these encounters highlight both his social influence and ability to connect people from all walks of life. Lord Montagu's impact extended beyond cars alone; he hosted grand parties at Beaulieu where Dame Vera Lynn graced guests with her presence during the mid-1970s. These events were testaments to not only his love for entertainment but also his ability to bring people together.
