EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this vintage print is the iconic moment of J. E. Lancaster attaching snow chains to his beloved Riley Brooklands during the thrilling Inter-Varsity Trial of 1930. The Riley Brooklands, a magnificent two-seater sports car from 1929 with its powerful 1089 cc engine, proudly displays its registration number VC833 as it prepares for the challenging event. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness Lancaster's determination and expertise as he fixes the snow chains onto his trusty vehicle. With a backdrop of an avenue lined with trees and wet streets glistening under the overcast sky, it is evident that Lancasters' passion for motor sport knows no bounds. This image showcases not only Lancasters' skill as a rally driver but also pays homage to British motoring heritage of the early 20th century. The scene transports us back to an era when classic cars ruled the roads and rallies like these were highly anticipated events that brought together enthusiasts from all walks of life. Preserved by Bill Brunell's lens, renowned for capturing moments that define an era, this photograph now finds its place within the National Motor Museum's collection. It serves as a testament to both Lancasters' dedication to his craft and our enduring fascination with vintage automobiles. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history, we are reminded of how far transportation has come while cherishing those who paved the way for modern-day motorsport.
