EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the elegance and spirit of the B&HMC Brighton Motor Rally in 1930. The focal point is the stunning MG 18/80 Saloon, a classic car from that era, proudly displayed with its registration number FL8943. Behind the wheel sits Mrs. R Gough, a trailblazing female rally driver who fearlessly took on this male-dominated sport. The image showcases not only the beauty of the vintage automobile but also reflects the fashion and style of the time. Mrs. Gough exudes confidence as she stands next to her vehicle wearing an exquisite dress and hat, embodying grace and sophistication. Bill Brunell, a talented artist capturing moments in history through his lens, expertly composed this monochrome portrait. His attention to detail highlights every aspect of this scene - from the proud expression on Mrs. Gough's face to the bustling atmosphere surrounding them at Brighton's seaside. As we admire this photograph today, it serves as a reminder of how far women have come in breaking barriers within traditionally male-dominated fields like motorsport. It also pays homage to an era where automobiles were more than just machines; they represented freedom, adventure, and personal expression. Preserved by Heritage Images for future generations to appreciate our rich automotive heritage, this print encapsulates both nostalgia for a bygone era and admiration for those who dared to challenge societal norms.
