EDITORS COMMENTS
Rubber Duck, the iconic Austin 7 of LP Driscoll, takes the lead as it races ahead of two sleek MG Cs during the BRDC 500 Mile Race at Brooklands in 1931. This photograph captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the thrilling world of motor racing in Britain during the early 20th century. The works car known as Rubber Duck, with its distinctive design and powerful Austin 747S cc engine, demonstrates both speed and elegance on the historic Brooklands circuit. The skilled driver behind its wheel is none other than L. P. Driscoll himself, who fearlessly maneuvers through every twist and turn. In hot pursuit are two equally impressive MG Cs driven by S. Hailwood on one side and another MG C on the other side. These classic cars showcase British engineering prowess at its finest, effortlessly gliding across the track with their powerful engines roaring. This image not only captures a thrilling race but also serves as a testament to an era when motor racing was gaining popularity as a sport. It transports us back to a time when speed and adrenaline were celebrated amidst the picturesque surroundings of Weybridge in Surrey. As we admire this vintage print from Heritage Images' collection, we are reminded of how far automotive technology has come while appreciating these timeless symbols of power, style, and passion for motorsport.
