EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this vintage print is the exhilarating atmosphere of the Bugatti Owners Club Hill Climb, held in Chalfont St Peter, Buckinghamshire in 1935. The image showcases a sleek Citroen saloon from 1934 (Vehicle Reg. No. BBH640), driven by the renowned racing driver Bill Brunell. As spectators line the dusty country road, their eyes are fixed on Brunell skillfully maneuvering his French-made car up the challenging hill climb course. The event entry number 33 marks his participation in this thrilling motor race organized by the Bugatti Owners Club. This snapshot perfectly encapsulates a moment frozen in time during Britain's motoring heyday of the 1930s. With its monochrome charm, it transports us back to an era when classic cars like this Citroen were at their peak popularity. The photograph not only captures the excitement of motorsport but also reflects a sense of national pride as British enthusiasts gather to witness these impressive machines in action. It serves as a testament to both technological innovation and human determination that defined motor racing during this period. Preserved for posterity, this historic image now resides within the National Motor Museum archives, reminding us of our rich automotive heritage and celebrating those who pushed boundaries on roads less traveled.
