EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from the 1930s, we are transported back to a time when classic cars ruled the streets of Britain. The image showcases a magnificent Bentley with its powerful presence and sleek design. With its distinctive vehicle registration number MP4552 proudly displayed, this 4398 cc beauty stands as a symbol of automotive excellence. The photograph was taken during the prestigious MCC Torquay Rally in Devon, England. Behind the wheel sits F. E. Elgood, an accomplished rally driver who skillfully maneuvered his way through challenging roads and thrilling twists on that fateful day in July 1937. As Elgood's Bentley takes center stage at the starting line on an avenue lined with eager spectators, one can almost feel the anticipation in the air. This moment captures not only a snapshot of motorsport history but also reflects the passion and dedication of those involved in rallying during that era. Preserved by renowned photographer Bill Brunell (W. J. ), this monochrome masterpiece transports us to a bygone era where motor sport was both exhilarating and glamorous. It serves as a testament to British engineering prowess and showcases how vintage cars continue to captivate enthusiasts even today. This remarkable print is now part of National Motor Museum's collection—honoring not just an occupation or profession but also celebrating an enduring legacy within British motoring history.
