EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Ford Prefect tourer of JW Whalley as it competes in the prestigious RAC Rally on Madeira Drive, Brighton in 1939. The vintage car, with its classic design and powerful 1172 cc engine, proudly displays its registration number ERO32. Event Entry No: 17 signifies Whalley's participation in this thrilling motorsport event. Despite facing the challenges of navigating through a demanding rally course without a co-driver, Whalley showcased his exceptional driving skills behind the wheel of this iconic vehicle. The R. A. C. Rally took place from April 25th to April 29th, attracting passionate rally drivers from all over England. The location itself adds an extra layer of charm to this image. Madeira Drive is known for its picturesque avenue along Brighton's seafront, offering stunning views of the English Channel. Beach huts line the street, creating a nostalgic atmosphere reminiscent of seaside holidays during that era. As we admire this monochrome photograph captured by Bill Brunell, we are transported back to a time when motor sport was at its peak and vintage cars like the Ford Prefect were revered for their elegance and performance. This image serves as a testament to both Whalley's determination as a rally driver and the enduring appeal of classic automobiles from Britain's rich motoring history.
