Capturing the Thrill of Speed and Triumph - Alf Langley's Austin 7 Grasshopper at the MG Car Club Midland Centre Trial, 1938
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to a defining moment in British motorsport history. It showcases Alf Langley fearlessly maneuvering his iconic Austin 7 Grasshopper through a challenging bend during the renowned MG Car Club Midland Centre Trial in February 1938. With its distinctive design and powerful 747 cc engine, the Austin 7 Grasshopper proved to be a force to be reckoned with on both road and off-road terrains. As we witness Langley skillfully navigating this rural track, it becomes evident why he was awarded the prestigious Bryant Cup for Best Performance that day. The image perfectly encapsulates the essence of motoring in Britain during the thirties – an era characterized by classic cars, rustic countryside settings, and thrilling rallies. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia, transporting us back to a time when driving was not just about transportation but also about embracing adventure and pushing boundaries. As we admire this vintage masterpiece captured by WJ Brunell, one cannot help but feel inspired by Langley's determination as he conquers each turn with precision. This photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and passion for motor sport while reminding us of our rich automotive heritage. Displayed proudly at the National Motor Museum today, this extraordinary snapshot immortalizes both Alf Langley's victory
