BABS with Parry Thomas, having wheel changed at Pendine Sands 1926
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures a remarkable moment in automotive history. The image showcases the legendary BABS, an iconic British car of the 1920s, alongside its creator Parry Thomas. Taken on the picturesque Pendine Sands in Carmarthenshire, Wales, this snapshot transports us back to a time when land speed records were being shattered. In this particular scene, we witness a pit stop during one of BABS' record-breaking runs. A team of mechanics is diligently changing one of the wheels as Thomas stands nearby, overseeing every detail. The Shell banner proudly displayed on the vehicle hints at their partnership and support for these daring endeavors. The atmosphere surrounding this photo exudes excitement and anticipation. It encapsulates an era where innovation and speed were pushing boundaries like never before. John Godfrey Parry-Thomas himself was renowned for his engineering genius and relentless pursuit of breaking land speed records. Preserved by time but still radiating energy, this vintage print from the National Motor Museum allows us to marvel at both the technological advancements made during that period and the audacity it took to challenge them. As we gaze upon this historical artifact captured by an unknown photographer's lens, we are reminded of how far we have come while paying homage to those who paved our path towards progress in transportation history.
