EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exhilarating moment when Mrs. MM Riley fearlessly conquers the challenging Nailsworth Ladder during the Sunbac Colmore Trial in Gloucestershire, 1934. Behind the wheel of her powerful MG J2 (847 cc), registered as KV5437, she showcases both her driving skills and determination. The image transports us back to a bygone era, where classic cars like the MG J2 were revered for their elegance and performance. The monochrome composition adds a timeless charm to this snapshot of British motoring history. As Mrs. Riley navigates through rugged terrain, spectators line the track, eagerly watching her every move with admiration and anticipation. Amongst them is renowned photographer Bill Brunell capturing this remarkable feat on film. The picturesque landscape of Gloucestershire serves as a stunning backdrop for this daring display of skill and courage. Towering trees frame the scene while plants dotting the hillside add an element of natural beauty to this thrilling rally event. Mrs. MM Riley's participation in such a male-dominated sport challenges societal norms at that time, making her an inspiring figure for women everywhere. Preserved within this print from Heritage Images is not just an image but also a testament to human resilience and passion for motor sports during one of Britain's most iconic eras -the 1930s.
