EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a thrilling moment during the MCC Torquay Rally in July 1937. In this historic rally, two classic Riley cars, the LA Fortys Riley Falcon and J Boardmans Riley Kestrel, take center stage as they race through the picturesque countryside of Devon, England. The powerful engines of these vintage vehicles echo through the moorland as they navigate a winding lane with precision. The LA Fortys Riley Falcon, adorned with registration number WP8757 and driven by L. A. Forty himself, leads the pack ahead of its rival. Its sleek design and robust 1496 cc engine make it an impressive sight on the road. Close behind is J Boardman's equally formidable Riley Kestrel with registration number CKB788. As spectators line the avenue to witness this exhilarating display of motorsport prowess, Bill Brunell expertly captures this moment in time. His monochrome photography adds a timeless quality to this image that transports us back to an era when motor racing was at its peak. This photograph serves as a testament to both British engineering excellence and the passion for speed that defined this period in history. It stands proudly among other treasured artifacts at the National Motor Museum today, reminding us of our rich automotive heritage.
