This print by artist Bill Brunell showcases the power and elegance of this classic 972 cc vehicle, registered under AHU982. As Entry No. 26, it fearlessly tackles the challenging hill climb at Barnstaple Trial. Set against the picturesque backdrop of Devon's countryside, this image embodies both British motoring heritage and rural life in early 20th century England. The monochrome palette adds a timeless quality to this snapshot from history, emphasizing the raw excitement that motorsport enthusiasts experienced during that era. Amidst cheering spectators lining the route, a skilled driver maneuvers their Singer with precision and determination. The metaphorical uphill battle becomes a physical reality as they navigate treacherous geographical features on their way to victory. This rally event epitomizes not only speed but also resilience and endurance. Preserved for posterity by WJ Brunell's lens, this vintage car represents an era when motor racing was more than just a sport; it was an exhilarating display of human skill and engineering prowess.
