EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, taken in 1989, local people enthusiastically wave and greet the driver of a vintage Hispano Suiza car as it passes through a quaint Spanish village during the Santander to Madrid car rally. The Hispano Suiza car, a relic of automotive history, gleams in the sunlight as it makes its way down the winding road. The car's headlights pierce the air, casting long shadows on the village streets, while its polished fenders and bonnet reflect the vibrant colors of the surrounding buildings. The Hispano Suiza car, a classic example of Spanish engineering, was a popular choice among vintage car enthusiasts and collectors during the 1980s and 1990s. This particular model, with its distinctive design and powerful engine, drew a large crowd as it made its way through the picturesque Spanish countryside. The villagers, dressed in traditional clothing, eagerly awaited the arrival of the car rally, their faces filled with excitement and curiosity. The sight of the vintage automobiles, many of which were rare and valuable, was a treat for both the locals and the participants. The Hispano Suiza car, with its rich history and iconic design, transported its passengers back in time, offering a glimpse into a bygone era. The rally, which brought together veteran autos and their drivers from all over Europe, celebrated the history of automotive transport and the joy of driving. This photograph captures a moment in time, a fleeting instant of connection between the past and the present, as the local people and the vintage car enthusiasts come together to celebrate the love of cars and the spirit of adventure.
