EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the thrilling world of motor racing in 1935. The image showcases a remarkable moment at the Shelsley Walsh Hillclimb in Worcestershire, where Barbara Skinner fearlessly competes in her MG C type car. Stripped down for racing purposes, this cut-down Montlhery Midget exudes power and elegance as it speeds through the avenue. The atmosphere is electric, with crowds lining both sides of the lane to witness this exhilarating event. Amongst them stands Bill Brunell, a fellow enthusiast captivated by Miss Skinner's driving skills. As one of Britain's few female drivers during that era, she breaks barriers and inspires women across the nation. The photograph perfectly captures the essence of 1930s motoring culture - a time when vintage cars ruled the streets and speed was an adrenaline-fueled obsession. It transports us to an era where motor sport was not just about competition but also about pushing boundaries and defying societal norms. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece from our National Motor Museum collection, we can't help but admire Miss Skinner's determination and skill behind the wheel. Her presence on that day symbolizes empowerment for women in a male-dominated field. Let this print serve as a reminder of those who paved the way for future generations of female racers while celebrating the timeless beauty and excitement found within classic automobiles.
