Capturing the Spirit of Adventure - MG J2s Conquer Tarr Steps, Exmoor, 1934
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from 1934, we are transported back to a time when the thrill of motoring adventures filled the air. The image showcases two magnificent MG J2s belonging to Kenneth and Doreen Evans of Mid Surrey AC as they participate in the Barnstaple Trial on Exmoor's iconic Tarr Steps. The first car featured is a stunning MG J2 from 1932 with registration number YY1168. Driven by Kenneth Douglas Evans himself, this powerful machine exudes elegance and speed. Right beside it stands another remarkable MG J2 from 1932 with registration number AGY339. This beauty is driven by none other than Miss D. B. M. Evans - Doreen herself - showcasing her passion for driving and breaking gender norms. Tarr Steps provides an enchanting backdrop for these classic cars, its ancient clapper bridge spanning across River Barle adding a touch of rustic charm to the scene. As these vintage automobiles conquer nature's obstacles with grace, they symbolize both British engineering excellence and the indomitable spirit of adventure that defined motoring in the early 20th century. This extraordinary photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also embodies the essence of freedom, exploration, and camaraderie shared among rally drivers during those golden years of motor sport history.
