EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the thrilling atmosphere of the Bugatti Owners Club Lewes Speed Trials in 1937. The image showcases a moment frozen in time, as the powerful Lorraine-Dietrich automobile known as Vieux Charles Trois races down a country lane in East Sussex, England. With its massive 15095 cc engine roaring and billowing smoke behind it, this classic car embodies the spirit of speed and adventure. The driver, R. G. J. Nash, skillfully maneuvers through the rustic countryside, leaving spectators awestruck by his daring performance. People from all walks of life gather along the avenue to witness this exhilarating display of motor sport mastery. As they watch with anticipation, their faces filled with excitement and admiration for both car and driver. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this vintage scene, transporting us back to an era when motor racing was at its peak. This photograph not only celebrates British engineering prowess but also pays homage to French craftsmanship embodied by Lorraine-Dietrich. Preserved within this image is not just a snapshot of history but also a testament to human ingenuity and passion for speed. It serves as a reminder that even decades later, we can still appreciate the thrill that comes from witnessing remarkable feats on wheels like those showcased at B. O. C Lewes Speed Trials in September 1937.
