EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from May 1970, we are transported back to the Hotel Estacion in Colombia during the World Cup Rally. As the drivers take a well-deserved break from their exhilarating journey, they find themselves faced with an unexpected challenge - no clean drinking water. However, amidst this dilemma, one driver stands out in his resourcefulness and ability to make the best of any situation. Pictured here is Paddy Hopkirk, renowned for his remarkable driving skills and adventurous spirit. With a champagne glass in hand, he ingeniously decides to quench his thirst by savoring a refreshing beer instead. Seated comfortably on a chair, Paddy indulges himself while simultaneously engaging with the local community. As if that weren't enough to capture our attention, we notice another fascinating detail unfolding before our eyes. A young Colombian boy diligently shines Paddy's shoes as he relaxes. This heartwarming interaction between two individuals from different worlds epitomizes the beauty of cultural exchange and human connection. The ambiance exudes relaxation and camaraderie amongst these rally drivers who have embarked on an arduous journey together. Their shared experiences have forged bonds that transcend language barriers and geographical boundaries. This extraordinary photograph captured by Reed / Piper / Ley / Varley transports us back to a time when adventure knew no limits and resilience was paramount. It serves as a testament not only to the indomitable spirit of these World Cup Rally drivers but also reminds us of life's simple pleasures
