This print captures the Connaught B-Alta of Ken McAlpine during the British Grand Prix at Aintree, Merseyside in 1955. The image showcases McAlpine's remarkable driving skills as he maneuvers his racing car with precision and speed on the iconic motor racing circuit. Sporting number 32, McAlpine exudes determination and passion for the sport as he competes against other skilled drivers in this prestigious Formula One event.

This unforeseen setback serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of motor racing and highlights both the triumphs and challenges faced by sportsmen like McAlpine. The photograph not only captures a significant moment in British motorsport history but also reflects the spirit of competition and dedication exhibited by drivers during this era. It stands as a testament to their unwavering commitment to pushing boundaries and achieving greatness on the racetrack. Preserved through time, this vintage image now resides within the National Motor Museum's collection, serving as a visual representation of an unforgettable chapter in motorsport history.
