EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1930s, a time when classic cars ruled the streets of Britain. The image showcases a Rover Open 4-seater 10/25, with its sleek design and powerful engine capturing the essence of motoring in that era. The vehicle, registered under WW6322, participated in the C Thackray Ilkley & District Motor Club Trial held in Coxwold, North Yorkshire. The event entry number two belonged to driver C. Thackray himself, who skillfully maneuvered through the challenging terrain of this picturesque location. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, we see a lady elegantly seated behind the wheel of this vintage car. Her presence adds an air of sophistication and empowerment to an otherwise male-dominated sport. This woman defied societal norms by taking part in rallying events like these. Surrounded by rambling pedestrians on either side of the avenue, it is evident that this rally attracted attention from both motorsport enthusiasts and curious onlookers alike. The monochrome composition further enhances the timeless quality of this photograph. Preserved for posterity at the National Motor Museum, this image serves as a reminder of our rich automotive heritage and pays homage to those who paved the way for women's involvement in motor sports. It stands as a testament to their courage and passion for driving against all odds during one of Britain's most iconic eras -the thirties.
