EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the thrilling moment when AE Rollason, behind the wheel of his Ariel Open 2-seater, competes in the prestigious Caerphilly Hillclimb in Wales during the summer of 1923. The powerful 996 cc vehicle, adorned with registration number HP4982, showcases British engineering excellence from the early 20th century. Bill Brunell skillfully captures this iconic scene as Rollason maneuvers through a bend on a rustic country lane. The dust kicked up by his car's exhaust adds an air of excitement to the image. Spectators line both sides of the road, eagerly watching this exhilarating display of speed and skill. Rollason's mastery is evident as he confidently navigates through the cornering course, leaving behind a trail of smoke that adds drama to this vintage motor race scene. With loose front number plates fluttering in the wind, it is clear that every detail matters for these racing enthusiasts. The picturesque Welsh countryside serves as a stunning backdrop for this historic event. As one can imagine, locals flocked to witness such an extraordinary spectacle amidst their rural lives. AE Rollason emerges victorious at Caerphilly Hillclimb, securing first place in Class A and solidifying his status as a champion driver. This remarkable photograph immortalizes not only his triumph but also pays homage to an era when motor sport was rapidly gaining popularity across Britain.
