Lots 475-487 Alfred Thomas Goldie Gardner (1890-1958) Alfred Thomas Goldie Gardner was born on 31 May 1890 in Woodford, Essex. An early interest in racing motorcycles was interrupted by him joining the army at the start of the First World War where he became the youngest Major in the British Forces. In 1917, his reconnaissance plane was brought down by enemy fire, and he sustained leg and hip injuries that were to hospitalise him and leave him disabled for the rest of his life. He was mentioned in despatches during his tour of duty from 1st July 1916 to the end of January 1917 and was awarded the Military Cross. Despite his injuries, he began motor racing in 1924 and, in 1930, his success brought him to the attention of Cecil Kimber, the managing director of M.G.; there he was able to race various M.G. cars with considerable success. In 1934, in a streamlined K3 Magnette, he accompanied Sir Malcolm Campbell to Daytona Beach and set a new Land Speed Record. In 1937, he went to Dessau in Germany where he created a new Flying Mile Record at 148.5mph. He went on to set further records at Montlhéry in France and returned to Germany later in the year to set new records. With a 200mph goal in mind, he acquired George Eyston's Magic Magnette EX-135 and modified it for the task. In November 1938, he returned to Germany and raised the record to 186mph. With the 200mph target still eluding him, in May 1939 he returned yet again to take the 1100cc record to 203mph, and with the engine rebored overnight he also took three 1500cc Class 'F' records. Following WWII, new Class 'H' (750cc) records were achieved in Italy and at Jabbeke, Belgium. Then, in 1947, Class 'I' (500cc) records were set. In 1948, a Jaguar 2-litre experimental engine was borrowed to set Class 'E' (2000cc) records. Further record-breaking continued at Jabbeke and in the USA through 1950-2, but in 1952 he suffered a cerebral haemorrhage and was forced to retire. On his death in 1958, he was holder of the OBE and had received three BRDG Gold Stars.
