EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this timeless print is the iconic MG J2, a true symbol of British motoring excellence. The year is 1938, and the scene unfolds at Knatts Hill in Kent, where the London Motor Club Coventry Cup Trial takes place. With its sleek lines and powerful engine, this MG J2 (847 cc) proudly displays its registration number PO8865 as it competes against fellow vintage cars. Behind the wheel sits driver WJ Brunell, a fearless rally enthusiast ready to conquer any challenge that comes his way. As he navigates through the rugged countryside terrain, billows of smoke trail behind him, adding an air of excitement to this exhilarating motorsport event. The image perfectly captures both the beauty of rural life and the thrill of off-road driving.
