EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in timeless black and white, this vintage photograph transports us back to the exhilarating world of motor sport in 1930s Britain. The image showcases a Riley Alpine Six, with its sleek lines and powerful engine ready to take on the challenge ahead. The car's registration number UD4022 proudly displayed on its front grille, marking it as a true classic. At the MCC Sporting Trial held in Litton Slack, Derbyshire, we witness driver C. J. S Montague-Johnson fearlessly navigating the treacherous hillside terrain of Peak District National Park. Surrounded by breathtaking countryside scenery, this event was not only a test of skill but also a testament to man's determination to conquer nature's obstacles. As spectators gather along the route, their eyes fixed on Montague-Johnson's daring ascent up the hill, they are captivated by both his driving prowess and the sheer beauty of these vintage automobiles. Bill Brunell expertly captures this momentous occasion through his lens, immortalizing an era when motor racing was more than just speed; it was an art form. This photograph serves as a metaphor for human ambition and perseverance against all odds. It reminds us that even in rural settings like Derbyshire's Litton Slack, dreams can be realized and challenges overcome. As we admire this snapshot from history preserved at the National Motor Museum today, let us celebrate those who paved the way for modern motorsport while cherishing our own journeys towards success.
