This iconic snapshot captures a defining moment during the NW London MC Coventry Cup Trial held at Knatts Hill in Kent. As our eyes wander through the monochrome landscape, we witness the sheer determination etched on Brunell's face as he fearlessly navigates his way up a treacherous hillside. The rugged countryside serves as both backdrop and metaphor for this intense uphill climb that tests man and machine alike. This vintage car embodies classic elegance combined with raw power, representing an era when craftsmanship met speed on British roads.
