EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in the 1930s, this print showcases a thrilling moment during a motoring trial on the Nailsworth Ladder in Gloucestershire. The star of the show is undoubtedly the Ford V8 drophead, a classic car from 1935 boasting an impressive 2227 cc engine. With its vehicle registration number BFC123 proudly displayed, this vintage beauty takes center stage as it competes against other participants in this unidentified trial. The image transports us back to a bygone era when motor sports were at their peak. Bill Brunell, an accomplished rally driver, can be seen skillfully maneuvering his Ford V8 along the challenging hillside road. As he reaches the summit of Nailsworth Ladder, Gloucestershire's picturesque countryside serves as a breathtaking backdrop for this exhilarating event. This photograph not only captures an exciting moment in motorsport history but also offers glimpses into British culture and geography of that time. The Cotswolds' idyllic lanes and avenues provide the perfect setting for showcasing both the power and elegance of these early automobiles. Preserved by Heritage Images and part of their collection at the National Motor Museum, this snapshot allows us to appreciate not just one man's passion for driving but also highlights how transportation has evolved over time. It serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with classic cars and reminds us of our rich automotive heritage.
