. This print takes us back to the 24th of May, 1926, at the iconic Brooklands race track in Weybridge, Surrey, England. The image showcases a line-up of powerful racing cars eagerly awaiting the start of the Private Competitors Handicap. Each vehicle exudes elegance and power as they stand side by side. From left to right, we see an impressive array of legendary automobiles that defined an era: a Sunbeam, Bugatti, Alfa Romeo, another Bugatti, Frazer Nash, 12/50 Alvis, Aston Martin, and E H P. These magnificent machines were about to embark on a thrilling race that would push their limits and test their drivers' skills. The victor of this exhilarating event was none other than Harold Purdy in his remarkable 1500 cc four-cylinder Type 37 Bugatti.
