EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the thrilling moment when the SS Jaguar 100, driven by S. H. Newsome, competes in the prestigious RAC Rally of 1939. The talented artist Bill Brunell skillfully brings this iconic automobile to life on paper, showcasing its sleek design and powerful presence. Taking place on a picturesque avenue lined with Tudor-style timber-framed buildings, the rally serves as a testament to British motoring excellence during the 20th century. As spectators line the street, eagerly watching every move of these classic cars, a young boy stands in awe of this magnificent machine. The image perfectly encapsulates an era where motor sport was not only about speed but also style. The driver's gauntlet-clad hands firmly grip the steering wheel while his female co-driver navigates through each twist and turn with precision. In contrast to their intense focus, children playfully observe from the sidewalk dressed in their Sunday best. A traffic policeman ensures that all road regulations are followed as these remarkable vehicles race towards victory. With EHP201 proudly displayed on its registration plate, this vintage Jaguar roars past historic houses and modern-day bystanders alike. Despite fierce competition from 34 other participants, Newsome skillfully maneuvers his way to an impressive second-place finish at the R. A. C Rally. This extraordinary photograph is more than just a snapshot; it is a window into an exhilarating moment in time when passion for automobiles collided with sporting prowess on Britain's roads.
