Captured in this print is the iconic MG M Le Mans of CHD Berton, as it competes in the MCC Sporting Trial at Litton Slack, Derbyshire in 1930. This vintage automobile, with its Bronze Le Mans type body and registration number GJ5326, showcases the classic design and elegance of British cars from the 1930s. The image takes us back to a time when motor sport was gaining popularity, with drivers like Berthon pushing their limits on challenging terrains. The rugged countryside of Litton Slack in Peak District National Park provides an awe-inspiring backdrop for this thrilling event organized by the Motor Cycling Club (MCC).
