EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1923, witnessing a thrilling moment at the MAC Shelsley Walsh Hillclimb in Worcestershire. The image captures the AC of Lilian Roper as she competes in her powerful 11.9 hp vehicle, adorned with the registration number PC7022. As one of the few female drivers of her time, Miss L. M. Roper showcases her exceptional driving skills and determination. The atmosphere is electric as crowds gather along the avenue to witness this historic event unfold. Bill Brunell, renowned for his photography prowess during that era, skillfully captures every detail - from the classic cars lining up on the lane to spectators eagerly watching from every vantage point. Racing through a challenging bend with precision and speed, Lilian Roper demonstrates why she is considered one of Britain's fastest female drivers. Her victory in the Ladies class on time solidifies her place among motor racing's elite. This photograph not only immortalizes an iconic moment but also reflects an important chapter in women's history within motorsport. It serves as a reminder of Lilian Roper's remarkable achievements and pays tribute to all those who defied societal norms to pursue their passion for speed and competition. Displayed proudly at the National Motor Museum today, this vintage print stands as a testament to both Lilian Roper's triumphs and our enduring fascination with early 20th-century motoring culture.
