EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the thrilling moment when R Holden, riding a powerful 499 cc Rudge motorcycle, competes in the MCC Torquay Rally of 1938. The artist behind this remarkable image is Bill Brunell, whose talent for capturing motion and intensity shines through in this piece. The photograph showcases the rugged beauty of rural Britain as Holden navigates his way through a countryside lane. The vintage motorbike stands proudly parked on the avenue, its sleek design reflecting the spirit of adventure that defined motorcycling in the early 20th century. Holden's skillful riding earned him a well-deserved Silver Award at the M. C. C. Torquay Rally, cementing his place among esteemed competitors of that era. The date of this achievement was July 15-16th, 1938 - an important milestone in British motorsport history. As we admire this monochrome masterpiece by WJ Brunell, we are transported back to a time when motorcycling was not just a means of transportation but also an exhilarating sport. This image encapsulates both the rustic charm of rural life and the excitement that comes with participating in rallies and races. Preserved within Heritage Images' collection at National Motor Museum, this print serves as a testament to our rich motoring heritage. Let it remind us all of those who blazed trails on two wheels and left their mark on British motorcycling history.
