EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of the 1898 Daimler 6hp, driven by DM Copley, participating in the renowned London-Brighton Run. The event took place in Reigate, Surrey on November 18th, 1928. As we delve into this snapshot from the past, we are transported to a time when automobiles were still a novelty and roads were lined with eager spectators. The image showcases an avenue filled with classic cars of the era, but it is undoubtedly the Daimler that steals the show. Its vintage charm and elegant design make it stand out amidst its contemporaries. The monochrome setting adds an air of nostalgia to this scene frozen in time. We see people gathered along both sides of the road, eagerly watching as Copley expertly maneuvers his beloved vehicle through Reigate's streets. The buildings lining this picturesque lane serve as a backdrop for this exciting display of early motoring history. This photograph was captured by Bill Brunell (WJ Brunell), who skillfully immortalized this momentous occasion for future generations to appreciate. It now finds its home at the National Motor Museum where it serves as a testament to Britain's rich automotive heritage. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history, we can't help but be reminded of how far transportation has come since those early days. This image encapsulates not only a specific event but also represents an entire era defined by innovation and progress in road transport.
