Mildred Mary Bruce was a descendant of one of Cromwell's high-ups, who went on to become Sec of State for to Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary I and Elizabeth I. Worth reading her wikipedia page -  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hon_Mrs_Victor_Bruce. She came 6th in the 1927 Monte Carlo and having set off from John o'Groats, drove for 72 hours without a rest. That was only the start of a fairly epic drive. She also made the record books with powerboats and aircraft - http://www.britishpathe.com/video/to-fly-round-the-world-alone
