EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the 1930s, Scottish racing driver J. Dundee triumphantly crosses the finish line at the prestigious Brooklands race track, having shattered the 500-mile world record in 1931. Behind the wheel of the powerful Bentley, famously owned by Captain Woolf Barnato, Dundee averaged an astonishing speed of 118.39 miles per hour throughout the grueling race. The image captures the thrill and excitement of the era, as the roaring engines of these magnificent machines echoed across the English countryside. The 1930s were a golden age for motorsport, and this photograph encapsulates the spirit of competition, innovation, and daring that defined the decade. With the Bentley's sleek lines and powerful presence, it's no wonder that Dundee and Barnato's record-breaking performance left a lasting impact on the world of motoring. This photograph is a testament to their unyielding determination, skill, and the unforgettable allure of the golden age of racing.
