EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from the 1930s, we are transported back to a time when motor rallies were filled with excitement and adventure. The image captures the Standard Sportsmans saloon car, a classic beauty boasting a powerful 2054 cc engine. Its registration number GF8440 proudly displayed on its sleek exterior. Behind the wheel sits none other than Miss P. Naismith herself, known affectionately as Paddy. A trailblazing female rally driver in an era dominated by men, she fearlessly takes on the challenging roads of Highland Scotland. The scene unfolds at John O Groats during the prestigious B&HMC Brighton Motor Rally. Surrounding Paddy's car is a crowd of enthusiastic spectators who have gathered to witness this thrilling display of motoring prowess. Parked nearby is Morris Oxford Vehicle Reg. No. TS6460 belonging to Eirane Naismith - perhaps a fellow competitor or supporter joining in on this exhilarating event. As we delve into this snapshot from history, it becomes clear that Paddy Naismith was not just an exceptional driver but also an inspiration for women aspiring to break barriers in male-dominated fields. This remarkable photograph serves as a testament to her courage and determination while showcasing the timeless allure of vintage cars and their enduring place in our collective memory.
