Capturing the Thrill of Speed - Barbara Skinner and her Morris Special at the MAC Shelsley Walsh Hill Climb, Worcestershire, 1932
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from the 1930s, we witness a moment frozen in time that epitomizes the excitement of motorsport. The image showcases Barbara Skinner behind the wheel of her powerful Morris Special 2400 cc racing car as she fearlessly tackles the challenging hill climb at Shelsley Walsh. The atmosphere is electric as spectators line both sides of the avenue, eagerly watching Miss Skinner's daring drive. Amongst them stands Bill Brunell, an esteemed figure in British motor racing history. The crowd is captivated by this pioneering female driver who defies conventions and proves that women can excel in a male-dominated sport. The location itself holds historical significance as it was hosted by the Midland Automobile Club (M. A. C. ), known for organizing thrilling races during this era. As Miss Skinner maneuvers through each twist and turn with precision, her skillful driving leaves onlookers awestruck. This vintage photograph not only captures a remarkable moment but also reflects an era when motor racing was gaining popularity across Britain. It serves as a testament to both Miss Skinner's determination and her contribution to breaking gender barriers in sports. Preserved within this monochrome frame lies a piece of automotive history - one that continues to inspire generations with its timeless appeal.
