EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this vintage print is a thrilling moment from the Bugatti Owners Club gymkhana held on 5 July 1931. The image showcases three magnificent automobiles, each exuding elegance and power. On the left of the frame, we have the iconic Bugatti Type 43 with its sleek design and impressive 2262S cc engine, later known as GK17 and changed to JTX757. Positioned right at the center is another Bugatti beauty, the Type 44 boasting a robust 2993 cc engine under its hood, registered as PL3265. However, it's hard not to be captivated by the majestic Bentley standing tall on the right side of our photograph. With its distinctive VdP body and chassis number 835, this Bentley commands attention with its powerful presence powered by a formidable 2996 cc engine registered as DD5849. The scene unfolds against a picturesque countryside backdrop; farmland stretches into the distance while an exhilarating race takes place on this challenging course. Men clad in dapper attire can be seen eagerly participating in this motorsport event that combines skillful driving with sheer adrenaline. This snapshot serves as a testament to an era when motor enthusiasts reveled in these classic cars' performance prowess. Preserved through time within Heritage Images' collection, it offers us a glimpse into an exciting chapter of British motoring history.
