EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of misfortune during the MCC Exeter Trial in Meerhay, Dorset, in 1930. The image showcases an Austin GE Cup model of RH Massey's vintage car, registered as YF2745. As spectators watch with concern, driver R. H. Massey faces the unfortunate event of a breakdown on the rugged off-road course. In this snapshot from the past, we witness the spirit of camaraderie and assistance that defined motor sport during this era. W. J. Brunell can be seen lending a helping hand to Massey as they push his broken-down vehicle due to overheating issues. The photograph not only highlights the challenges faced by rally drivers at that time but also showcases the resilience and determination required to participate in such events. Despite encountering setbacks along their journey, these individuals were driven by their passion for motoring and their love for classic cars. As we delve into this piece of automotive history, it becomes evident that even though luck may have been against them on that particular day, these dedicated participants continued to pursue their passion for motor sport with unwavering enthusiasm. Preserved within this monochrome image is a glimpse into Britain's rich heritage of rallying and its impact on transportation culture throughout the 20th century. This print serves as a reminder of both triumphs and tribulations experienced by those who dared to challenge themselves behind the wheel during one of England's most iconic trials - The MCC Exeter Trial.
