The first owner of the Atalante was Francis Curzon, 5th Earl Howe, who was a Member of Parliament, and something of a fast-living racing enthusiast.
He owned a vast collection of cars to indulge his hobby, and raced competitively throughout the 1930s.
The Atalante seems to have been preserved from the dangers of the racetrack; the car was discovered with remarkably low mileage for a vehicle its age.
