Capturing the Thrill of Speed - MG R Type of GH Symonds at Lewes Speed Trials, Sussex, 1938
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by renowned artist Bill Brunell, we are transported back to the vibrant world of motor racing in 1930s Britain. The image showcases the sleek and powerful MG R Type (746S cc) as it competes in the prestigious Lewes Speed Trials held on August 20th, 1938. The driver behind the wheel is none other than G. H. Symonds, a skilled racer who fearlessly takes on the challenging avenue lanes of East Sussex. Spectators line both sides of the road, their eyes fixed on every twist and turn as they witness this exhilarating display of speed and precision. Brunell's monochrome composition beautifully captures not only the classic car itself but also conveys a sense of nostalgia for an era when motoring was still a thrilling concept. The image transports us to a time when motor sport was gaining popularity across Britain. This historic photograph serves as a testament to both British engineering prowess and our enduring fascination with speed and competition. It reminds us that even in an age dominated by modern technology, there is something timeless about vintage cars roaring down streets lined with enthusiastic spectators. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot frozen in time, we can almost hear the roar of engines and feel our hearts race alongside those who were lucky enough to witness these awe-inspiring moments firsthand at Lewes Speed Trials
