26th June 1952: Motoring journalist Basil Cardew is taken for a test drive by a driver in a typical French beret. The car in which he is passenger is the French, 'City Car 123'*.

* no, new to me as well! 

 

Designed by a French aeronautical engineer named Victor-Albert Bouffort. The car is also know as the Bouffort Peardrop. Appears it was a one off as there was no interest from any manufacturers.

Tsar Nicholas II of the Russian Empire with his wife Empress Alexandra Feodorovna and his four daughters Grand Duchess Olga, Grand Duchess Tatiana, Grand Duchess Maria and Grand Duchess Anastasia photographed in 1914.

Quite sad 4 years later they would all be killed, although there is a rumour that Anastasia survived

That is covered very well in Gill Paul's "The Secret Wife", fiction heavily fact based and most interesting.

I got it free on Amazon Kindl.
