EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the vibrant atmosphere of the Blackpool Rally in 1936. The focal point is the remarkable Austin 7 Grasshopper, owned by CD Buckley and beautifully captured by artist Bill Brunell. This vintage automobile, with its distinctive design and powerful 747 cc engine, stands out amidst a bustling avenue lined with classic cars. The rain-soaked streets reflect a typical British weather scene as Buckley skillfully maneuvers his beloved Austin through the wet roads of Lancashire's seaside town. The image exudes an air of nostalgia, transporting us to a time when motor sport was at its peak. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we can almost feel the excitement that permeated the rally grounds. With vehicle registration number BOA58 proudly displayed on its bodywork, this Austin 7 Grasshopper symbolizes both elegance and speed. Bill Brunell's artistic eye perfectly captures every detail of this iconic car against the backdrop of Blackpool's seafront. The composition showcases not only the beauty of vintage automobiles but also highlights their significance in shaping transportation history. This print serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with classic cars and their role in defining an era. It invites us to appreciate both the craftsmanship behind these vehicles and their ability to evoke cherished memories from times gone by.
