EDITORS COMMENTS
Peter Clark's HRG, a classic car from the 1930s, proudly displays its silver award won at the prestigious MCC Torquay Rally in July 1937. This vintage automobile, with its sleek design and powerful 1496 cc engine (Vehicle Reg. No. DYV221), showcases the epitome of British motoring excellence during this era. Driven by Peter Clark himself (Driver: Clark, P. C. T. ), this photograph captured by renowned photographer Bill Brunell (WJ Brunell) portrays the moment of triumph for both driver and machine. The image exudes a sense of nostalgia as it transports us back to a time when rally racing was an exhilarating sport that captivated enthusiasts across Britain. The location is set amidst the picturesque countryside of Devon, England, where winding lanes merge seamlessly with moorlands creating an idyllic setting for motorsport enthusiasts. As Peter Clark skillfully maneuvers his HRG along this avenue lined with spectators, one can almost feel the excitement in the air. This monochrome print not only captures a significant event in motor racing history but also serves as a testament to the enduring allure of vintage cars. Preserved within the archives of National Motor Museum, it stands as a reminder of our rich automotive heritage and pays homage to those who pushed boundaries on these iconic roads. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from yesteryears' rallying glory days, we are reminded that passion for speed and precision has always been at heart
