Eliot Zborowski

William Eliot Morris Zborowski, Count de Montsaulvain  (born 1858 in Elizabethtown, New Jersey; died 1st April 1903) was an American racing driver.

Zborowski, born William Zabriskie, funded his racing career using proceeds earned from the sale of his father's estates near Central Park in New York; his title of "Count" was self-styled upon his arrival in Europe in around 1880, presumably inspired by his sister's marriage to Count Charles de Montalbon. Zborowski took up motorsports in 1898. Able to buy whatever cars he liked, this usually meant Mercedes racing cars. Zborowski died in a hillclimb crash in 1903, but his riding mechanic survived.

Zborowski's son Louis also became a racing driver, despite the circumstances of his father's death.
