EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this vintage print, we witness the thrilling moment when an Alfa Romeo and Riley take part in the iconic London-Brighton Run of 1928. Renowned artist Bill Brunell skillfully portrays the elegance and power of these classic cars as they navigate through a bustling avenue. The Alfa Romeo, with its sleek Italian design and impressive 1500 cc engine, commands attention on the road while the Riley, registered under XV6005, adds a touch of British charm to this historic event. The scene is set against a backdrop of beautiful buildings that line the route, showcasing both urban sophistication and countryside allure. As spectators gather along the lane to watch this exhilarating display of motoring prowess, it becomes clear that this annual run has become an integral part of British culture during the roaring twenties. Brunell's monochrome masterpiece not only captures a moment frozen in time but also pays homage to our enduring fascination with classic cars. This photograph serves as a reminder of how transportation has evolved over time while preserving our love for vintage automobiles. Displayed proudly at the National Motor Museum, this print transports us back to an era where driving was not just about reaching one's destination but also about embracing adventure on open roads. It invites us to appreciate both technological innovation and timeless beauty.
