A speed trial held at Elstree, near Watford, on Easter Monday under the auspices

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event in motor racing history. The Vintage Sports Car Club organized a thrilling speed trial at Elstree, near Watford, on Easter Monday. After a hiatus since 1939 due to the war, this race marked the return of adrenaline-pumping races featuring iconic car brands like Atlas, Maseratis, Bugattis, and E. R. A. s. Despite facing challenges such as petrol and tire shortages in post-war Britain, the determined participants showcased their skills on a restricted course spanning 440 yards. The cars started in pairs and were timed separately, adding an extra layer of excitement to the competition. In this particular snapshot from April 22nd, 1946, we see Lady Mary Grosvenor fearlessly taking control of Rilly at Elstree. Her presence behind the wheel exemplifies the growing role of women in motorsports during that era. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless charm to this image from the twentieth century. It serves as both a visual reminder of an exhilarating race day and a testament to how far motor racing has come over time. This remarkable print is brought to you by TopFoto. co. uk – preserving historical moments for future generations without any commercial intent.
