EDITORS COMMENTS
SA Crabtree and Kitty Brunell, two passionate rally drivers, pose proudly beside their sleek Crossley cars at the RAC Rally in 1932. This photograph captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the charm of early 20th-century British motoring. SA Crabtree stands confidently next to his Crossley 1089 cc car, registered as VU8614. Dressed impeccably in a tailored coat and hat, he exudes an air of determination. On his right stands the equally formidable Kitty Brunell, driver of another Crossley car (Reg. No. VU8616). Miss K. R. A. C herself radiates elegance in her stylish dress and hat. The image reflects not only the love for classic automobiles but also highlights the progressive spirit of women breaking barriers in male-dominated sports during this era. Kitty Brunell's presence challenges traditional gender roles as she fearlessly takes on the thrilling world of rallying. Parked against a backdrop that hints at adventure-filled roads ahead, these vintage cars symbolize freedom and exploration. The RAC Rally served as a platform for enthusiasts like Crabtree and Brunell to showcase their driving skills while pushing themselves to new limits. This remarkable photograph is now preserved within the National Motor Museum's collection—a testament to an era when motor sport was gaining momentum across Britain. It serves as a reminder that passion knows no boundaries—whether it be behind the wheel or breaking societal norms—and continues to inspire generations with its timeless allure.
