EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a thrilling moment in British motor racing history. The image showcases the Straker-Squire of WB Horn as it competes in the prestigious MAC Shelsley Walsh Hillclimb, held in Worcestershire in 1923. With its powerful 3308 cc engine, this classic car was an impressive sight on the avenue leading up to the hill climb. Driven by W. B. Horn, this Straker-Squire finished an admirable third place in Class 6, showcasing both its speed and endurance. The stripped-down design of the car emphasized its sleekness and agility on the road. The atmosphere at Shelsley Walsh was electric, with crowds of spectators lining the lane to witness these daring drivers push their machines to their limits. This event organized by the Midland Automobile Club attracted motoring enthusiasts from all over England who eagerly watched each race unfold. As we gaze upon this vintage photograph taken by Bill Brunell, we are transported back to a time when motor sport was still evolving and capturing people's imaginations. It serves as a reminder of Britain's rich automotive heritage and our enduring fascination with speed and competition. This print is not just a piece of history; it is also a testament to human ingenuity and passion for driving that continues to inspire us today.
