EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the thrilling Standard Car Owners Club Gymkhana of 1938, captured forever in this photograph by artist Bill Brunell. The focal point of the image is the magnificent Standard Twelve, a classic car from the era with its distinctive 1608 cc engine and registration number DLW741 proudly displayed. The event took place on a picturesque farmland setting, where members of the club gathered for a day filled with excitement and friendly competition. As participants navigated through a challenging course marked out on the grassy field, their driving skills were put to the test amidst cheers and laughter. Brunell's monochrome composition beautifully captures both the elegance of these vintage automobiles and the camaraderie among fellow motoring enthusiasts. Each detail meticulously preserved transports us back to an era when road transport was still evolving. This remarkable print now resides within the National Motor Museum's collection, serving as a testament to Britain's rich automotive heritage. It stands as a tribute not only to Standard Cars but also to WJ Brunell’s artistic talent in immortalizing this momentous gathering. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of an age when cars were more than just machines; they represented freedom, adventure, and endless possibilities.
