The late King was known for his passion for motoring both on four and two wheels, but also for aviation. He left behind an impressive collection of cars, noticeably WWII Willyses.
From a young age, he was a fan of driving cars, riding motorbikes and flying planes.
At the age of 16, he killed a cyclist with his car. Of course, he was not charged or anything and the press was banned from reporting on this incident. It’s good to be king.

Kings are not cool…
