EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1923 in Caerphilly, Wales. The image showcases a remarkable Bentley Stripped 2-seater with a distinctive bolster tank, driven by none other than Bertie Kensington Moir himself. With its powerful 2996 cc engine and sleek design, this classic car exudes elegance and sophistication. The scene unfolds during the renowned Caerphilly Hillclimb event, where adrenaline-filled spectators eagerly gather along the rustic countryside lane to witness the thrilling motor race. As dust fills the air and exhaust fumes linger behind, Kensington Moir fearlessly maneuvers his racing car up the challenging hill climb course. Amongst the crowd stands Bill Brunell, another notable figure in motorsport history who played an integral role in organizing such exhilarating events. His presence adds an extra layer of excitement as he watches Kensington Moir skillfully navigate each twist and turn on that fateful day. Despite fierce competition from fellow drivers, our protagonist's exceptional driving skills secure him a commendable second-place finish in Class F. This achievement further solidifies his status as one of Britain's finest racing drivers of that era. Preserved within this vintage photograph is not only a snapshot of early 20th-century automobile culture but also a testament to Welsh heritage and passion for speed. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come while honoring those who paved the way for modern motorsport enthusiasts worldwide.
