Alfred Dunhill was not born a gentleman. He was born in 1872 into the humble harness and saddlery business. Taking over from his father at the age of 21, he became obsessed with the craze for motor cars and was determined to offer the smart man-about-town motoring accessories: luggage, clocks and watches to time one's speed, even pipes to smoke while driving.
