EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the exhilarating world of motorsport in the 1930s. The image showcases a momentous event in automotive history, featuring Colonel PT Etherton competing in his powerful Vauxhall Velox during the iconic Monte Carlo Rally. Set against a backdrop of an avenue lined with vintage cars, this snapshot perfectly encapsulates the spirit of competition and adventure that defined this era. The Vauxhall Velox, adorned with registration number UW8784, stands as a symbol of British engineering excellence. Intriguingly, positioned left of center is another remarkable vehicle bearing registration number MY788. This car belongs to Mrs. J. Dinsdale, driven by none other than J. Elizabeth Dinsdale herself – a pioneering female rally driver challenging gender norms on her quest for victory. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and timelessness to this scene from history, transporting us back to an era when motor racing was still in its infancy but already capturing hearts worldwide. Preserved by Heritage Images at the National Motor Museum, this photograph serves as a testament to both technological advancements and human determination within road transport sports. It reminds us how these early pioneers paved the way for modern-day rallying while igniting our passion for classic cars and their enduring charm.
