Capturing the Thrill of Competition - Singer's Triumph at the Mid Surrey AC Barnstaple Trial, 1934
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from 1934, we are transported back to a time when motorsport was in its infancy. The image showcases an exhilarating moment during the Mid Surrey AC Barnstaple Trial held at Beggars Roost, Devon. A vintage Singer car, with its sleek design and powerful engine (a 1493 cc model), is seen conquering the challenging terrain with great skill. The driver, Bill Brunell, exudes confidence as he fearlessly navigates his way up a steep hill on Exmoor. Spectators line the rustic countryside road to catch a glimpse of this thrilling event. Their faces filled with excitement and anticipation reflect their admiration for both the driver and his magnificent machine. This snapshot perfectly encapsulates Britain's love affair with classic cars and motorsport during the early 20th century. It serves as a metaphor for human determination and resilience in overcoming obstacles – be it on or off-road. Preserved by Heritage Images and now part of the National Motor Museum collection, this photograph not only captures a specific moment in time but also offers us a window into our rich automotive heritage. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene today, we can't help but feel inspired by those who paved the way for modern-day rally racing enthusiasts around the world.
