EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in the rugged beauty of Roxburghshire, Scotland in 1938, this print showcases Riley of F Broomfield competing fearlessly in the prestigious MCC Edinburgh Trial. Behind the wheel of his powerful Riley 2442 cc vehicle (Registration No. DBY149), driver F. Broomfield from Adderstonshiels, Hawick, Roxburghshire takes on the challenging terrain with unwavering determination. As spectators line the countryside roads, their eyes fixed on this thrilling display of motor sport excellence, one cannot help but be transported back to a bygone era when classic cars ruled the streets. The image captures both the essence of rural life and the excitement that comes with rallying as it was experienced in mid-20th century Britain. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this vintage snapshot taken by renowned photographer Bill Brunell (WJ Brunell). It serves as a reminder not only of our rich automotive heritage but also highlights how much has changed since those simpler times. This remarkable piece is part of an extensive collection housed at the National Motor Museum and offers a glimpse into an era where off-road trials like these were highly anticipated events for motoring enthusiasts across the United Kingdom. A true testament to human ingenuity and passion for speed, this photograph immortalizes F Broomfield's daring drive through history.
