EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Jaguar SS of Elsie Wisdom at the prestigious RAC Rally in Brighton, Sussex, 1939. The talented artist Bill Brunell beautifully depicts this classic car, a 25 h. p. 4-door SS Jaguar with the vehicle registration number EDU615. Mrs. E. M. Wisdom fearlessly takes on the challenge as she competes in this exhilarating event, finishing an impressive 15th out of 42 participants. The monochrome image showcases the sleekness of the black car adorned with chrome wheel discs, exuding elegance and style against a backdrop of a charming avenue in East Sussex. As we delve into history through this photograph, we witness an era when motoring was not just about transportation but also a thrilling sport that captivated both men and women alike. Elsie Wisdom stands as an inspiration to all female drivers of her time, defying societal norms by participating in such events traditionally dominated by men. Her determination and passion for rallying shine through as she confidently maneuvers her vintage Jaguar along this picturesque road. This remarkable piece from W. J. Brunell transports us back to a bygone era where motor sports were celebrated on seafront streets like those found in Brighton. It is no wonder that this iconic image finds its place within the National Motor Museum's collection, preserving the rich heritage of British automobile culture for generations to come.
