"Amilcar: A Vintage French Beauty in the Motorsport Scene" Step back in time to the 1920s and 1930s, where the Amilcar Standard Sports took center stage at the Ilkley & District Motor Club Trial in Thirsk, Yorkshire. This iconic vintage French car showcased its prowess on challenging terrains, leaving spectators awestruck. The allure continued to captivate enthusiasts as Goldie Gardner piloted one through the Irish Grand Prix at Phoenix Park, Dublin. The skillful artist Bill Brunell immortalized this momentous event, capturing every detail of Gardner's thrilling race. Not only did Amilcar shine on racetracks but also during rallies like the Bournemouth Rally in 1928. Mrs V Bruce proudly drove her AC Acedes saloon alongside P Saltmarshe's magnificent Amilcar, both showcasing elegance and power. The Brighton & Hove Motor Club Trial witnessed HP Powell maneuvering his agile Amilcar CGS3 through demanding obstacles. Bill Brunell's artistic touch perfectly depicted Powell's determination and skill behind the wheel. In 1922, at the Porthcawl Speed Trials in Wales, an exquisite Amilcar Type CC Petit Sport stole hearts with its sleek design and impressive performance. Once again, Bill Brunell captured this breathtaking moment for posterity. Brooklands' BARC meeting saw Major A Gardner commanding an awe-inspiring Amilcar while AS Llewellyn showcased a Lea-Francis Hyper. These two legendary cars competed fiercely against each other under the watchful eyes of motorsport aficionados. The Ilkley & District MC Trial brought together renowned brands such as Salmson, Riley 9, and our beloved Amilcar. These trials pushed these machines to their limits as they conquered Fewston Reservoir with sheer determination and speed.
