EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this vintage print is the iconic moment when J. Hey fearlessly competes on his powerful 347 cc AJS motorcycle in the MCC Lands End Trial of 1936. The event took place at Beggars Roost, a picturesque location nestled within the stunning countryside of North Devon, England. As the motorcycling enthusiasts gathered along the rustic lane, Hey's determination was palpable as he embarked on a challenging uphill climb. With every twist and turn, he skillfully maneuvered his trusty AJS through the rugged terrain of Exmoor, showcasing both his expertise and the capabilities of this remarkable machine. The image perfectly captures not only Hey's intense focus but also highlights the vibrant atmosphere surrounding him. Crowds lined up along the avenue to witness this exhilarating display of motoring prowess. The monochrome aesthetic adds a touch of nostalgia to this snapshot from a bygone era. Hey's exceptional performance earned him well-deserved recognition as he was awarded Premier for his outstanding achievement at Beggars Roost that day. This historic photograph serves as a metaphor for resilience and triumph over adversity, embodying both the spirit of motorcycling sport and rural life in 1930s Britain. Preserved by Heritage Images and housed within their collection at National Motor Museum, this print immortalizes an unforgettable moment in motorcycling history.
