EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, an upturned Rolls Royce, belonging to the renowned Irish brewing magnate, Mr. Benjamin Guinness, lies crumpled on the side of the road between Pisa and Rome. The date was April 23, 1937, and the scene of the accident was a winding stretch of road that snakes through the picturesque Italian countryside. Mr. Guinness was a frequent traveler, and on this particular day, he was accompanied by 21 passengers in his luxurious Rolls Royce. The photograph captures the aftermath of a harrowing incident. The Rolls Royce, with its iconic grille and elegant lines, now bears the scars of the accident. The car had rolled over, coming to rest on its roof, with the weight of the vehicle practically resting on its sturdy body pillars. The passengers, despite the gravity of the situation, were all saved due to the car's robust engineering. The image is a poignant reminder of the importance of safety features in automobiles. The body pillars, a critical component of the car's structure, had withstood the brunt of the impact, preventing the roof from collapsing and ensuring the safety of those inside. This accident, which took place on the 7th of April in 1937, is an essential chapter in the history of automotive safety. The photograph, taken by an unknown photographer for ILN (Illustrated London News), is a testament to the resilience of both the Rolls Royce and its passengers. It stands as a reminder of the importance of innovation and engineering in the face of adversity. The image, though a grim reminder of an accident, is a significant piece of historical documentation, showcasing the strength and durability of a Rolls Royce, even in the most challenging circumstances.
