"Classic Cars Through the Decades: A Journey Back in Time" Step into the past with Jenny Clare as she strikes a pose next to her beloved Leyland Mini on a sunny day in October 1972. The retro style desert scene transports us to an era where old gas stations and majestic saguaro cacti dotted the landscape. Traveling further back, we find ourselves at Paddington Station in 1934, amidst a bustling taxi rank. The hustle and bustle of commuters and iconic black taxis paint a vivid picture of life during that time. Fast forward to 1937, where WP Uglow takes part in the NWLMC Lawrence Cup Trial with his sleek HRG 2-seater sports car. This thrilling event showcases the adrenaline-fueled passion for motorsports during this period. The year is now 1965, and an unknown creator captures the essence of elegance with their photograph featuring a stunning Aston Martin DB5. Its timeless design continues to captivate enthusiasts even today. Marilyn Coles graces our collection as she poses alongside a Jaguar, embodying both beauty and power. This Reveille model effortlessly complements the car's sophistication. In another corner of history, AR Rye competes fearlessly in the MCC Lands End Trial of 1935 with his Riley Lynx. Bill Brunell's artistic touch immortalizes this momentous occasion filled with determination and skill. HS Yelland takes center stage at the MCC Torquay Rally in 1938 astride his impressive DKW motorcycle boasting an engine capacity of 490 cc. Brunell once again captures this exhilarating rally experience through his artistry. Transporting ourselves back to Chalfont St Peter in Buckinghamshire during 1935, we witness Bugatti Type 35 cars racing up hills at breakneck speeds during Bugatti Owners Club Hill Climb—an event that epitomizes thrill-seeking adventure.
