EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1934, we see the fearless Singer of CV Glass conquering the treacherous Nailsworth Ladder in Gloucestershire. The vintage car, with its distinctive registration number AUC424, is a testament to the classic automobiles of the early 20th century. Behind the wheel sits driver C. V. Glass, ready to take on the Sunbac Colmore Trial. The image captures a moment of exhilaration as Glass skillfully maneuvers his MG J2 up the steep hillside, defying gravity and pushing both car and driver to their limits. Spectators line the track, eagerly watching this thrilling display of motoring prowess. This photograph not only showcases an impressive feat of driving but also highlights England's stunning geographical features. Gloucestershire's rugged terrain provides a challenging backdrop for this nail-biting rally event. As we admire this monochrome masterpiece by Bill Brunell (W. J. Brunell), we are transported back to an era when motor sport was at its peak. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for a time when cars were more than just modes of transportation; they represented adventure and freedom. Preserved by Heritage Images and housed in the National Motor Museum archives, this print serves as a reminder of our rich automotive heritage and pays tribute to those who pushed boundaries in pursuit of speed and excitement on Britain's roads.
