Jill Scott (racing driver)

[1][2] Along with her first husband, William Berkeley "Bummer" Scott, she lived in a large house Grasmere, in Old Byfleet[3] near the Brooklands race track in Surrey, England, and the couple were early and enthusiastic collectors of automobiles.

[2] Their cars all wore a distinctive black livery with emerald green wheels, and the couple collected frequent trophies racing their Bugattis at the nearby track.

[2][4] Following the death of J. G. Parry-Thomas, they bought two of his cars, one of which, the 2-litre 1924-type Grand Prix Sunbeam,[5] Scott used to exceed 120 miles-per-hour on the Brooklands track, (a lap at 120.88 m.p.h.)

She was the woman to do so and earned the right to display a coveted British Automobile Racing Club badge acknowledging the achievement.

[8] Jill and William Scott married on 21 November 1925[9] and had a daughter, Sheila, who attended boarding schools and Cheltenham Ladies' College, and then Cambridge University.
