EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness the exhilarating moment when RGJ Nash takes control of the magnificent 1912 Lorraine-Dietrich Vieux Charles III during the VSCC Croydon Speed Trials in 1937. The vintage sports car, with its sleek design and powerful engine boasting an impressive 15095 cc capacity, roars down a country lane as Nash skillfully maneuvers through the rustic countryside. The image captures a snapshot of early 20th-century motoring history, showcasing both British and French influence in automobile craftsmanship. Bill Brunell's expert photography transports us back to a time when motor racing was still in its infancy but already capturing hearts worldwide. As spectators line the avenue to witness this thrilling display of speed and skill, Nash pushes himself and his racing car to their limits. With every twist and turn on that fateful day in September '37, he races against time itself - completing the course in an impressive 40.2 seconds. This photograph not only immortalizes an iconic moment for motorsport enthusiasts but also serves as a testament to human ambition and innovation. It reminds us of our enduring fascination with speed, sport, and technology throughout history. Preserved by the National Motor Museum as part of their extensive collection, this image continues to captivate viewers today with its timeless charm.
