Penelope Keith and the Fast Lady

Saturday 08 January
7:00pm - 8:00pm
BBC4

Penelope Keith retraces motoring pioneer Dorothy Levitt's 1905 journey from London to Liverpool in a De Dion-Bouton car. As well as using the Edwardian `It' girl's handbook The Woman and the Car, she receives advice from motoring historians and car enthusiasts, while Dorothy's story is further illustrated by archive material from the period in which she became the first British woman to compete in a motor race.

Just watched this on iPlayer. Really interesting, thank you for the heads-up!

Anyone who is interested in motoring history I think would enjoy this especially the detours to Brooklands and the Rolls-Royce heritage club (I think that's what they were called)

cool
