EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by artist Bill Brunell takes us back to the exhilarating world of motor racing in 1930s Britain. The image showcases the iconic Sumner Special, a single-seater racing car that was likely based on a G. N. , as it competes in the prestigious VSCC Croydon Speed Trials. The scene is set on a picturesque avenue, surrounded by countryside and rustic charm. Spectators line both sides of the road, eagerly watching as driver R. A. C. Sumner skillfully maneuvers his powerful machine through this challenging trial. With its sleek design and classic lines, the vintage sports car captures our imagination and transports us to an era when speed and style were paramount. Bill Brunell's monochrome composition adds depth to this timeless snapshot, emphasizing every detail from the roaring engine to the expressions on spectators' faces. The photograph freezes a moment filled with anticipation and excitement as Sumner races against time to complete the course. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of automotive history, we are reminded of how far technology has come while appreciating the enduring beauty of these vintage cars. This print serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and our eternal fascination with speed and competition on wheels.
