EDITORS COMMENTS

In this exhilarating race, we witness the iconic Alvis 1500 cc racing car driven by none other than Mrs. W. Urquhart Dykes herself. As she skillfully navigates a treacherous bend on a picturesque avenue, her determination is evident. The vintage car's sleek design and powerful engine showcase the epitome of early 20th-century British engineering excellence. The image transports us back to an era when motor racing was not just a sport but also an expression of national pride and technological innovation. The excitement radiates from every corner as spectators line up along the road to catch a glimpse of these daring drivers pushing their limits. With her steely focus and precise steering, Mrs. W. Urquhart Dykes defies all expectations as she finishes an impressive 9th place amidst fierce competition from renowned racers across Europe. This photograph serves as a testament to both the timeless allure of classic cars and the indomitable spirit that drives individuals like Mrs. W. Urquhart Dykes to push boundaries in pursuit of victory. Preserved within this monochrome masterpiece lies not only a snapshot from Boulogne Speed Week
