EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to a momentous day in British motoring history. It showcases H Whitfield-Semmence behind the wheel of his legendary Semmence Special, as he competes in the Bugatti Owners Club Lewes Speed Trials held in Sussex during September 4th, 1937. The image beautifully portrays an era when classic cars ruled the roads, with its monochrome tones adding a touch of nostalgia. The sleek lines of the Semmence Special, powered by a remarkable 1991 cc engine, exude elegance and power simultaneously. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost feel the adrenaline coursing through our veins. With a remarkable time of just 26.2 seconds on that fateful day, Whitfield-Semmence showcased his exceptional driving skills and cemented his place among racing legends.
