EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in automotive history - the 24 hour endurance record set by a trio of stripped down 6 cylinder 65 hp Napiers in July 1907. Led by Napier selling agent SF Edge, these powerful vehicles took to the track on the day before its official opening, ready to push the limits of speed and endurance. Over the course of those grueling 24 hours, all three Napiers ran continuously, with Edge himself covering the greatest distance - an impressive 1500 miles at an average speed of 66mph. This remarkable feat not only showcased the engineering prowess of Napier's machines but also demonstrated Edge's skill as a driver. The image captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing these early road vehicles that paved the way for modern automotive technology. The sleek lines and stripped-down design of these Napiers hint at their racing pedigree and performance capabilities. As we look back on this iconic achievement over a century later, we are reminded of the passion and dedication that drove pioneers like SF Edge to push boundaries and break records. This print is not just a snapshot from history but a testament to human ingenuity and determination.
