EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by Bill Brunell, we are transported back to the 1930s at the Standard Car Owners Club Gymkhana. The image showcases two remarkable vintage cars that were undoubtedly the stars of the event. On the right side stands a magnificent SS II from 1935, boasting its powerful 1608 cc engine with registration number DPC678. This beauty was entered as vehicle number 16 in the competition. Standing proudly on its left is another classic car, a Standard Flying Twelve from 1936, also equipped with a robust 1608 cc engine and entered as vehicle number 14. The gymkhana took place in an idyllic setting surrounded by lush farmland and green grass fields. Participants eagerly gathered to witness this thrilling challenge of skill and speed. Men and women alike came together for this motoring extravaganza, showcasing their love for automobiles and celebrating their membership within the prestigious Standard Car Owners Club. This print captures not only these stunning vehicles but also highlights the camaraderie among club members who shared a passion for classic cars and road transport. It serves as a timeless reminder of an era when motor enthusiasts reveled in friendly competitions like gymkhanas while enjoying each other's company amidst beautiful British countryside scenery.
