EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event in automotive history - the B&HMC Brighton Motor Rally of 1930. The focal point of the image is the sleek Alvis 16 h. p. vehicle, proudly displaying its registration number "???111". Behind the wheel sits Henken Widengren, an accomplished rally driver from Sweden, ready to conquer the challenging roads of Sussex. Surrounded by a bustling crowd on Brighton's picturesque seafront, this snapshot showcases both men and women eagerly observing this thrilling motorsport spectacle. The atmosphere is charged with excitement as drivers prepare to embark on their adrenaline-fueled journey through winding coastal routes. Bill Brunell expertly captures this scene with his monochrome lens, highlighting every detail of these classic cars that have stood the test of time. As spectators line up along the road, cheering for their favorite competitors, one can almost feel the anticipation in the air. Although finishing 14th out of 16 participants may not have been Widengren's finest hour, it does not diminish his determination and passion for rallying. This photograph serves as a testament to all those who embrace motoring as more than just a means of transportation but rather an exhilarating sport that pushes boundaries. As we gaze upon this vintage car parked amidst such historical significance at Brighton's motor rally, we are reminded of how far we've come in terms of technology and design while cherishing our rich automotive heritage from yesteryears.
