Capturing the Thrill of the MG M Type in the Brighton-Beer Trial, 1930
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to a time when motoring was an exhilarating adventure. The image showcases DC Collins, a skilled rally driver, maneuvering his MG M Standard 2-seater sports car up Simms Hill in Ilsington, Devon during the prestigious B&HMC Brighton-Beer Trial. The year is 1930, and this vintage automobile with its powerful 847 cc engine stands as a testament to British engineering excellence. With vehicle registration number GF4961 proudly displayed, Collins fearlessly tackles this challenging uphill climb on Dartmoor's rugged terrain. As spectators line the rustic roadside, their eyes fixed on Collins' daring ascent, one can't help but feel the excitement in the air. This snapshot perfectly captures both the determination of the driver and the admiration of those watching from afar. The Brighton-Beer Trial was not only a test of speed but also an exhibition of endurance and skill. It served as a metaphor for rural life itself - overcoming obstacles with grit and determination. In this moment frozen in time by photographer Bill Brunell (WJ), we witness history being made at Simms Hill. Today, thanks to Heritage Images' preservation efforts, we can still marvel at these iconic moments from motor sport's golden era. This photograph serves as a reminder that even amidst technological advancements and modern conveniences, there will always be something special about witnessing
