EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history during the Mid Surrey AC Trial at Tarr Steps, Exmoor, Somerset in 1934. The image showcases two iconic vehicles of the time - a Morris Minor 847 cc open 2-seater (Reg. No. AYF395) and a Riley Monaco saloon from 1932 with an engine capacity of 1089 cc (Reg. No. JO4473). These cars were not only symbols of automotive excellence but also served as officials' vehicles for this prestigious event. The setting is picturesque, with the famous Tarr Steps clapper bridge spanning over the River Barle in the background. The rugged countryside of Exmoor provides a stunning backdrop to this snapshot from another era. As part of the Mid Surrey Automobile Club Barnstaple Trial, these vintage cars took on challenging terrain and showcased their prowess in motoring sport. The rally driver behind the wheel navigates through water crossings and rustic roads, demonstrating both skill and determination. This photograph by Bill Brunell (WJ Brunell) immortalizes an important moment in British motor history while capturing the essence of rural life in England during that time period. It serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and love for classic automobiles that continue to inspire enthusiasts today.
