EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a bygone era in British motor racing. In 1961, C Wells fearlessly takes on the challenging Wiscombe Park Hill Climb in Devon behind the wheel of an Austin Healey Frogeye Sprite. The image showcases both the power and elegance of this iconic sports car, as it gracefully maneuvers through a corner with precision. C Wells, a female driver dressed in classic racing attire complete with goggles and helmet, defies societal norms by participating in a male-dominated sport. Her determination and skill are evident as she confidently navigates the winding road towards victory. The photograph not only highlights C Wells' impressive driving abilities but also pays homage to the rich history of British automobile manufacturing. The Austin Healey Sprite was produced by AC Cars Ltd. , known for their innovative concepts and exceptional craftsmanship. Wiscombe Park Hill Climb serves as an ideal backdrop for this thrilling moment captured on film. This renowned motorsport event attracts enthusiasts from all over Britain who gather to witness drivers pushing themselves and their cars to their limits.
