Capturing the Thrill of Victory - H. A. H. Burgess and his 493 cc Sunbeam Motorcycle at the MCC Torquay Rally, July 1937
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we are transported back to the exhilarating world of motorcycling in 1930s Britain. The image showcases H. A. H. Burgess astride his powerful Sunbeam motorcycle, winner of a prestigious bronze award at the MCC Torquay Rally. The scene unfolds on a picturesque avenue nestled amidst the breathtaking countryside of Devon, England. As Burgess confidently navigates his way through the winding lane, surrounded by lush moorland and charming village houses, we can almost feel the adrenaline coursing through his veins. Bill Brunell's masterful monochrome composition perfectly captures both motion and stillness in this snapshot from an era long gone. The sidecar attached to Burgess' motorcycle hints at thrilling moments shared with a companion or perhaps even a skilled co-pilot. This photograph is not just about speed and competition; it also speaks to the spirit of adventure that defined early motoring enthusiasts. With its timeless charm and evocative atmosphere, it serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with motor sports. Preserved for posterity within the National Motor Museum archives, this rare glimpse into British motorcycling history reminds us of how far we have come while honoring those who blazed trails on two wheels during an unforgettable time in transportation history.
