EDITORS COMMENTS
Jenny Hopkirk and her friend Sue Winchester are in for a thrilling ride as they cruise through the streets of Mayfair in London. But what makes this joyride truly unique is the vehicle they find themselves in – a groundbreaking 'see-through' car with a toughened glass body. In this print captured on 9th April 1968, we witness Jenny's famous rally driver husband, Paddy Hopkirk, taking the wheel of this extraordinary automobile. As he navigates through the bustling cityscape, their transparent vehicle turns heads and sparks curiosity among passersby. The expressions on Jenny and Sue's faces perfectly capture their mix of excitement and confusion as they experience an entirely new concept in automotive design. The sheer novelty of riding around town while being able to see everything around them is evident from their wide-eyed gazes. This snapshot from the swinging sixties not only showcases an unusual mode of transportation but also highlights the spirit of adventure that defined that era. Rallying was at its peak during this time, making Paddy Hopkirk a household name within motorsport circles. Join us on Memory Lane as we delve into history with Charlie Ley's remarkable photograph, reminding us all that sometimes it takes bold innovation to turn heads and leave lasting impressions.
