Full Steam Ahead - A Glimpse into the Past of Hill Climbing

EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time to witness a thrilling hill climb event like no other. In this photo print, taken on 16th April 1937, we find ourselves amidst an exhilarating rally organized by the veteran car club in Godstone, Surrey. The scene is filled with ancient cars, none later than 1904, as they compete against each other in a daring race up Crocks Hill. One particular vehicle steals the spotlight - Maj G. W. G Allen's remarkable 1901 Foster steam wagon. Emitting billows of steam that engulf its surroundings, this magnificent machine powers forward with unwavering determination. Its presence commands attention and evokes awe among spectators who have gathered to witness this extraordinary display of automotive prowess. The monochrome image captures the essence of a bygone era between the wars when such events were celebrated for their audacity and innovation. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit of progress. Preserved through time by TopFoto. co. uk, this photograph offers us a glimpse into history – an opportunity to marvel at these vintage automobiles that once ruled the roads. Let it transport you back to an age where full steam ahead was not just a phrase but a way of life for those brave enough to conquer any challenge that lay before them.
