EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the MG 18/80 saloon of R Gough as it competes in the prestigious MG Car Club Trial held at Kimble Lane in the picturesque Chilterns in 1931. The vintage automobile, with its sleek design and powerful 2468 cc engine, stands out against the rustic backdrop of the countryside avenue. Driven by Gough himself, this classic car showcases British engineering at its finest. The event entry number 56 proudly displayed on its body signifies its participation in this thrilling motorsport competition. As a testament to his skill behind the wheel, Gough was awarded a silver medal for his outstanding performance during the race. The muddy terrain adds an element of excitement to this monochrome image, highlighting both the challenges faced by rally drivers and their determination to conquer any obstacle that comes their way. This snapshot from a bygone era transports us back to a time when motor sports were not just about speed but also about navigating treacherous roads with precision and finesse. As we gaze upon this vintage beauty making its way through Kimble Lane, we are reminded of how far road transport has come since then. Yet, there is an undeniable charm and elegance associated with these early automobiles that continues to captivate enthusiasts today. This photograph is part of WJ Brunell's collection housed at the National Motor Museum and serves as a timeless reminder of our rich automotive heritage.
