EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photograph captured by artist Bill Brunell, we are transported back to the thrilling world of 1930s motorsport. The image showcases EC Haesendonck behind the wheel of his powerful MG PB (939 cc), as he competes in the prestigious MCC Torquay Rally held in Devon, England. The vintage car, with its classic design and registration number HS8860, effortlessly navigates an idyllic avenue lined with trees. The monochrome tones add a touch of nostalgia to the scene, emphasizing both the timeless beauty of this automobile and its historical significance. As Haesendonck skillfully maneuvers through winding lanes and moorland landscapes, his determination is palpable. Despite not receiving any awards on this occasion, his passion for rallying shines through every twist and turn. This photograph serves as a testament to Britain's rich motoring heritage during the early 20th century. It captures a moment frozen in time when speed enthusiasts would gather to witness these adrenaline-fueled events that showcased both driver skill and engineering prowess. Now preserved within the National Motor Museum archives, this print allows us to appreciate not only Brunell's artistic talent but also relive a bygone era where road transport was more than just a means of getting from point A to B – it was an exhilarating sport that captivated hearts worldwide.
