Richard Ormonde Shuttleworth (1909–1940)〔(''Flight'', Here and There, p111, 8 August 1940 )〕 was a racing motorist, aviator and prolific collector of veteran cars and aircraft. His collection forms the nucleus of the Shuttleworth Collection. Pilot Officer Shuttleworth was killed in an accident whilst flying a Fairey Battle.〔Ogilvy 1989, Ch. 1.〕 Shuttleworth participated in his first London to Brighton Veteran Car Run in 1928.〔''Motor Sport'', September 1940, Page 168 - for a full obituary.〕 He often entered more than one car for this event. He participated 1928–1938 except for 1935 where: "R. O. Shuttleworth failed to send in his entry before the closing date but joined up with the others at Westminster Bridge with a Benz. His companion at the wheel was Charles Martin and their hairy goat-skin coats which dated from the same period as the car, were much admired."〔''Motor Sport'', December 1935, Page 68.〕 He won the Brighton Speed Trials on a Bugatti Type 51 in 1934,〔''Motor Sport'', October 1934, Page 554.〕 and again in 1935〔''The Observer'', 15 September 1935, Page 29.〕 on an Alfa-Romeo P3 Tipo B, breaking Sir Malcolm Campbell's course record.

For a picture of Shuttleworth at Donington in the Alfa Romeo see: ''Automobile Quarterly'', Vol 49, No 1, Page 9.〕 He won the Mountain Championship at Brooklands later that year.〔''The Observer'', 20 October 1935, Page 36.〕 In 1936 he had a bad crash in his Alfa Romeo at the South African Grand Prix.
