EDITORS COMMENTS
Lord Avebury's Ford V8 roars through the rugged terrain of Gloucestershire, competing in the exhilarating Sunbac Colmore Trial of 1934. With its powerful 3622 cc engine and distinctive registration number YY8922, this classic automobile embodies the spirit of adventure and speed that defined the 20th-century aristocracy. Driven by Lord Avebury himself, a prominent figure in British society as the 3rd Baron Avebury, this vintage car represents both elegance and determination on wheels. Despite not receiving any awards during this particular event held near Winchcombe Gloucestershire, Lord Avebury fearlessly navigates Gypsy Lane with precision and skill. Captured in timeless photography by Bill Brunell (WJ), this image transports us back to an era when motor sport was still in its infancy. The picturesque countryside serves as a backdrop for this thrilling rally, showcasing England's rustic beauty alongside cutting-edge automotive technology. As spectators line the streets to witness these daring drivers tackle challenging off-road tracks, it is evident that motorsport has captivated people from all walks of life. From rural villagers to city dwellers, everyone gathers to marvel at these magnificent machines speeding past trees and plants. This print is a testament to the enduring allure of vintage cars and their ability to unite people through shared excitement for speed, competition, and technological innovation. It serves as a reminder of our rich motoring heritage preserved within Britain's National Motor Museum.
