EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the vibrant motorcycling scene of 1930s Britain. The image showcases the formidable HB Ransons 597 cc Ariel Square Four as it competes at the prestigious MCC Torquay Rally in July 1937. With Event Entry No: 19 proudly displayed, rider H. B. Ranson fearlessly takes on the challenging terrain. The monochrome composition adds a timeless quality to this snapshot of history, capturing both the excitement and elegance of motorcycle racing during that era. The picturesque countryside of Devon serves as a breathtaking backdrop for this thrilling event, with moorland stretching into the distance. Bill Brunell's expert photography skills beautifully capture every detail of this powerful machine in action. As Ranson maneuvers through winding lanes and avenues, his determination is palpable even in stillness. This photograph not only celebrates an iconic motorcycle but also pays homage to a bygone era when motoring was more than just transportation; it was a sport filled with adrenaline and camaraderie. It reminds us of the passion that fueled these early pioneers of motorcycling and their relentless pursuit for speed and victory. Preserved within Heritage Images' collection at the National Motor Museum, this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into our rich motoring heritage - an enduring testament to those who pushed boundaries on two wheels over eight decades ago.
