EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic Austin 7 of Bert Hadley, a true winner in every sense. Taken during the MCC Torquay Rally in July 1937, this vintage automobile showcases the timeless charm of British motoring history. With its sleek design and powerful engine (Austin 747S cc), it's no wonder that this classic car caught everyone's attention. The vehicle registration number BOA60 proudly adorns the front, symbolizing its unique identity on the road. Behind the wheel sits driver H. L. Hadley, also known as Herbert Lewis Hadley, who skillfully maneuvered his way through challenging rally courses to achieve an impressive bronze award at this prestigious event. Set against a backdrop of picturesque Devon lanes and avenues, this snapshot perfectly encapsulates the spirit of motorsport from that era. The monochrome aesthetic adds a touch of nostalgia to an already remarkable scene. Preserved by Heritage Images and now displayed at the National Motor Museum, this photograph is more than just a glimpse into automotive history; it represents passion for driving and dedication to excellence. It serves as a reminder that even decades later, we can still appreciate and admire these vintage cars for their enduring beauty and significance in our transportation heritage.
