EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic moment when Vieux Charles III, a 1912 G. P. car manufactured by Lorraine-Dietrich, participated in the Imperial Trophy at Crystal Palace in London on August 26th, 1939. The event entry number five was skillfully driven by R. G. J. Nash, who showcased his exceptional driving abilities behind the wheel of this classic vintage car. The Crystal Palace venue provided a picturesque backdrop for this thrilling motor race that attracted spectators from all over Britain and beyond. As Nash maneuvered through the challenging course with precision and speed, he represented both France and Lorraine-Dietrich with great pride. Bill Brunell expertly captured this historic moment in monochrome, emphasizing the timeless beauty of Vieux Charles III as it raced against its competitors. The photograph showcases not only the power and elegance of this veteran car but also highlights the passion for motorsport that transcends time. Today, this remarkable image is preserved within the National Motor Museum's collection as a testament to an era when racing cars were true works of art. It serves as a reminder of our rich automotive heritage and pays homage to those skilled drivers who pushed these machines to their limits.
