Whether it was the powerful 1914 Opel 4. 5 litre G, P car or the Sunbeam that carried him through the 1924 French Grand Prix, Segrave consistently pushed boundaries and set new standards for excellence.

With their distinctive designs and exceptional performance capabilities, these cars propelled him towards victory time after time. Segrave's impact extended beyond racing itself; he formed lasting friendships within the motoring community.

His Sunbeam GP car from Surrey in 1922 immortalized through Brunell's brushstrokes showcases not just speed but elegance too - a true embodiment of Segrave himself.
