EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the thrilling moment when RD Tong fearlessly fords the mighty River Exe in his 3-litre Lagonda during the JCC Lynton Trial of 1932. The image, taken by renowned photographer Bill Brunell, showcases the beauty of this classic car as it navigates through the challenging terrain of Yealscombe, Devon. The Lagonda 3-litre Event Entry No: 7 driven by Tong proved its mettle in this prestigious competition, finishing an impressive second place. As a testament to both driver and vehicle's prowess, this snapshot freezes time on that historic day - October 1st, 1932. Transporting us back to a simpler era of motoring and adventure, this photograph encapsulates all that is cherished about vintage cars and their enduring appeal. Against the backdrop of rural England's picturesque countryside, Tong demonstrates his skill behind the wheel while conquering nature's obstacles with finesse. With its monochrome aesthetic lending an air of nostalgia to the scene, we are reminded not only of a remarkable sporting achievement but also how transportation has evolved over time. This image serves as a window into our past - where rally drivers like RD Tong embraced challenges head-on and pushed themselves to new limits. Preserved within Heritage Images' collection at the National Motor Museum, this print stands as a tribute to both British automotive history and those who dared to defy conventional boundaries in pursuit of victory.
