EDITORS COMMENTS
Sunbeam of BO Davis and Bentley of Major H Butler racing at a BARC meeting, Brooklands, 1930. This print captures the essence of British automobile racing in the early 20th century. The Sunbeam, with its powerful 2916 cc engine, takes center stage as it zooms past the crowd at incredible speed. Behind it, the majestic Bentley with its impressive 4398 cc engine showcases elegance and power in equal measure. Driven by Davis and Butler respectively, these two iconic cars compete fiercely on the historic motor racing circuit at Brooklands. The event entry numbers - 6 for Davis' Sunbeam and 3 for Butler's Bentley - add an element of excitement to this thrilling race. Set against the backdrop of Surrey's picturesque Weybridge countryside, this image transports us back to a time when motor sport was still in its infancy but already capturing hearts across Britain.
