EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this vintage photograph is the exhilarating moment when R. A. MacDermid competes in the MCC Torquay Rally, held in Torbay, Devon back in 1938. The image, skillfully captured by artist Bill Brunell, showcases MacDermid behind the wheel of his powerful MG TA sports car (1292 cc) with vehicle registration number BBL82. As MacDermid navigates a bend on a charming avenue lined with historic buildings, spectators eagerly watch from the sidelines. Among them stands Babbacombe Glen Hotel, serving as both a landmark and meeting point for rally enthusiasts during this thrilling event organized by the Motor Cycling Club. The atmosphere is electric as drivers like MacDermid showcase their driving prowess and determination to conquer every twist and turn of the challenging course. This snapshot perfectly encapsulates an era when motor sport was gaining popularity across Britain. With its monochrome aesthetic adding a touch of nostalgia, this print transports us back to an exciting time when classic cars ruled the roads. It serves as a testament to not only MacDermid's racing skills but also to British engineering excellence embodied by MG vehicles. Preserved within our National Motor Museum archives, this image allows us to relive the glory days of motorsport while appreciating the beauty of Devon's scenic landscapes.
