D'Arcy Richard Baker (1877-1932) was a British businessman and racing driver.
However, the expense led to his bankruptcy, and upon his death, his estate passed to his bankers, and then to the Shepherd family in 1934.
[1][3] In 1908, at Brooklands, Frank Newton drove a 90hp Napier motor car for its Australian owner Selwyn Edge, who had a £500 bet with Baker that his car could go faster than Felice Nazzaro's Fiat.
[4][5] In 1911, at the age of 33, he was living at 18 Clarges Street, Mayfair, single, with two servants, and had one visitor, a Royal Navy officer, Oscar Valentin de Satge, the son of Oscar de Satge.
[6][7] He died in 1932 in the Wycombe district of Buckinghamshire, and his obituary was published on 15 March 1932 in the Gloucestershire Echo.
