EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a bygone era at the Blackpool Rally in 1936. In the foreground, we see the iconic Austin 7 Grasshopper, owned by CD Buckley, proudly displaying its registration number BOA58. This classic car with its sleek design and powerful 747 cc engine was a true symbol of motoring excellence during this time. Right beside it stands the elegant Fiat Balilla Tipo 508S Sports 2-seater, driven by S. G. E Tett. This Italian beauty boasts a larger engine size of 995 cc and is registered as CHX800. The contrast between these two vehicles showcases both British and Italian engineering prowess. The rally takes place on an avenue lined with spectators braving the rain-soaked streets of Blackpool, Lancashire. Despite the wet weather conditions, enthusiasts gather to witness this thrilling display of motor sport. In this snapshot from history, we catch a glimpse of men and women alike enjoying their passion for driving and rallying. The image perfectly encapsulates the spirit of adventure that defined motoring in the thirties. Preserved through time, this vintage photograph serves as a reminder of Britain's rich automotive heritage. It transports us back to an era when cars were not just means of transportation but symbols of freedom and individuality. With every detail captured in monochrome perfection by photographer Bill Brunell (WJ), this image invites us to step into a world where road transport met elegance on Blackpool's seafront.
