EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time during the Bugatti Owners Club Hill Climb in Chalfont St Peter, Buckinghamshire, back in 1935. The star of the show is undoubtedly the Dorcas Special, a remarkable automobile boasting an impressive 981 cc engine. Behind the wheel sits driver Clegg, ready to conquer the challenging hill climb course. The Dorcas Special was no ordinary car; it featured a unique combination of a JAP engine with BSA front wheel transmission and drive. This innovative design made it stand out among its contemporaries and showcased British engineering prowess at its finest. As dust swirls around the racing car, we can almost feel the excitement and anticipation that filled the air on that fateful day - May 25th, 1935. The Bugatti Owners Club Hill Climb attracted motoring enthusiasts from all over Britain who gathered to witness thrilling displays of speed and skill. Among those present was Donald Glegg, one of the key figures behind this extraordinary creation. Gordon Glegg also played an instrumental role in bringing this masterpiece to life. This vintage photograph not only serves as a testament to our rich automotive heritage but also transports us back to an era where motor racing was truly exhilarating. It reminds us of how far we have come while honoring those who paved the way for modern-day motorsport.
