Capturing the Essence of Racing - Talbot 105 and Lea-Francis Cars at JCC Double Twelve Race, Brooklands, 8/9 May 1931
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the thrilling world of motor racing in the early 20th century. The image showcases two iconic cars, a Talbot 105 and a Lea-Francis, parked side by side in the pits at the prestigious JCC Double Twelve race held at Brooklands on that fateful weekend. In the center stands the powerful Talbot 105 with its impressive 2970 cc engine. Driven by Saunders-Davies, A. O. Craig and W. Y. , this magnificent machine would ultimately finish in an admirable but challenging 20th position. Its sleek design exudes elegance while hinting at its potential for speed and performance. On the right rests a Lea-Francis car with a smaller yet equally spirited engine of just under 1500 cc. Unfortunately, driven by Dugdale, G. C. , and C. T. Delany, this particular vehicle was forced into retirement during the race due to unforeseen circumstances. The atmosphere surrounding these vintage automobiles is palpable as mechanics work diligently around them; their expertise crucial to ensuring peak performance on this demanding circuit. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot from history, we are transported back to an era when motor racing was not only about competition but also about pushing boundaries and embracing innovation
