EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this vintage print is a remarkable moment from the Great West Motor Club Thatcher Trophy of 1938. The photograph showcases an extraordinary Special Open 2-seater, a true marvel of automotive engineering from the mid-1930s. With its sleek design and powerful engine, this Talbot 10 exudes elegance and speed. Driven by the talented rally driver Bill Brunell, car number AER884 takes center stage as it competes against other classic cars on a challenging track. The event entry number 41 signifies the fierce competition that unfolded on that fateful day - November 13th, 1938. The backdrop of the British countryside adds to the allure of this image, with rustic charm blending seamlessly with motor sport excitement. This snapshot captures not only a thrilling race but also reflects rural life during that era. Preserved within the National Motor Museum's collection, this print offers us a glimpse into an era when motoring was both exhilarating and adventurous. It serves as a testament to the timeless appeal of vintage cars and their enduring legacy in our transportation history. As we admire this piece captured by WJ Brunell himself, let us appreciate how these classic automobiles continue to inspire generations with their beauty and innovation.
