Charlie Watts, the Rolling Stones’ drummer who died this week at the age of 80,
had an extensive collection of classic cars. That’s unremarkable until you realise that he never held a driving licence. His haul included a 1937 Lagonda Rapide Cabriolet, one of only 25 ever made and, presumably, 24 ever driven. Rather than take any of his vehicles for a spin, Watts enjoyed dressing in a tailored suit that matched a car’s aesthetic and sitting in its driver’s seat remaining stationary while listening to the hum of the engine.
