EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a glorious moment in British motoring history. It captures the essence of the Standard Car Owners Club Gymkhana held on 8 May 1938, showcasing three magnificent vehicles from that era. In the center stands a stunning Standard Flying Twelve from 1937, boasting its powerful 1608 cc engine with registration number GMX95. This beauty exudes elegance and sophistication as it awaits its turn to participate in the challenge. To its left is another gem, a Standard Flying Nine from 1936 with an impressive 1131 cc engine and registration number EMT925. Its sleek design hints at speed and agility, ready to conquer any obstacle thrown its way. Completing this trio is yet another Standard Flying Twelve from 1937, standing proudly on the right side of the frame. The atmosphere surrounding these classic cars is electric as members of the club gather for this prestigious event. The lush green grass serves as their playground for this gymkhana competition where skill and precision are put to test. Bill Brunell's masterful photography transports us back in time, capturing every detail with his monochrome lens. This image not only celebrates these vintage automobiles but also pays homage to an era when motor car enthusiasts reveled in friendly rivalry while pushing their machines to their limits. Preserved by Heritage Images, this snapshot allows us to appreciate the rich heritage of British road transport and relive moments that shaped automotive culture forever.
