EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event in automotive history - the Southport Rally of 1928. The focal point of the image is the magnificent Talbot 14-45 Sportsmans Coupe, driven by the talented R. G. Roberts. This classic car, with its sleek design and powerful engine, exudes elegance and sophistication. The photograph was skillfully taken by renowned artist Bill Brunell, who expertly captured every detail of this vintage automobile. The monochrome effect adds a timeless quality to the image, transporting us back to an era when motor sport was at its peak. The rally took place on the streets of Southport, England, where spectators lined up along the avenue to witness these impressive machines in action. The Talbot 14-45 Sportsmans Coupe proved its superiority by finishing first in Class 3 of the Concours d'elegance category. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene, we are reminded of a time when driving was not just about transportation but also about passion and adventure. The photo showcases not only the beauty of this particular vehicle but also pays homage to an entire generation that embraced motoring as a thrilling pastime. Preserved for posterity at the National Motor Museum, this snapshot serves as a testament to British engineering excellence and celebrates an iconic moment in automotive history. It stands as a tribute to both W. J Brunell's artistic talent and R. G Roberts' exceptional driving skills that propelled them to victory on that fateful day in September
