Bligh Bros

[2] In the capital, the company achieved several successes; Bligh's designs won awards at national and international exhibitions multiple times.

[4] It was around this time as Zborowski also invested in ailing race car manufacturer, Aston Martin, in a similar effort to save it from bankruptcy.

[6] At the same time, Bligh also produced bodies for race and road vehicles including early Aston Martins and a Hispano-Suiza,[7] a unique commission by Zborowski.

[4] Many years later this particular car was re-bodied and renamed Babs, and in 1927 broke the world land speed record whilst driven by J.G.

Their Mercedes works van was used to transport Zborowski's body back to Higham Park,[10] and the workers of the firm were paid out as part of the distribution of his estate.

[3] The building on Radigund Street in Canterbury where Bligh Brothers was headquartered still exists and is marked with a blue plaque.

[12] Zborowski’s Bligh Brothers bodied Hispano Suiza is owned and exhibited by renowned industrial designer Marc Newson.
