Mechanic Reg Bond turned his £350 compensation for an injury which blinded him in one eye into a lucrative business which grew into Bond International Tyres.
The businessman, from Pocklington, East Yorkshire, then turned to racehorse training and breeding and produced winners, many of which bore his family name.
Reg died in 2021, aged 77, and his four children Greg, Charlie, Mike and Lindsay are fighting over the validity of his last will.
Rift
The father had given much of his £55milllion away to all four before he died, but his final will, made in late 2019, handed nearly all of his remaining £12.3m to Charlie, 43, and Greg, 52, leaving older siblings Mike and Lindsay with £325,000 each.
