EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the unique and unconventional Burney streamlined car, a true marvel of engineering from 1931. With its engine placed at the back, this car was ahead of its time in terms of design and functionality. Despite being an expensive import, even catching the eye of the Prince of Wales who purchased one for himself, the Burney Streamlined car was ultimately deemed a glorious failure.
With a maximum speed of 40mph, this sleek vehicle may not have been practical for everyday use but it certainly made a statement on the roads. Its history is filled with intrigue and fascination as it defied traditional automotive norms.
The Burney streamlined car represents a bygone era where innovation and experimentation were celebrated, even if they didn't always lead to commercial success. This photograph serves as a reminder of how far we've come in terms of automotive technology while also paying homage to those daring enough to push boundaries and think outside the box.
Whether you're a history buff or simply appreciate fine craftsmanship, this image is sure to spark curiosity and admiration for this iconic piece of motoring history.
