EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the start of the historic 1900 1000 Mile Trial in Edinburgh. The image showcases two remarkable vehicles, numbered 46 and 47, both driven by Georges Richard. These veteran automobiles stand proudly among a group of other participants, ready to embark on this grueling test of endurance. Standing out in the crowd is Archie Millership in his Lanchester, positioned third from the right. This notable presence was highlighted by The Autocar magazine at the time. Not far behind him, we see Captain Langrishe seated in his powerful Daimler 6hp vehicle, fourth from the right. The atmosphere surrounding this event is palpable as spectators line up along the streets to witness these pioneering machines set off on their journey through challenging terrains and unpredictable weather conditions. It's a true testament to human ingenuity and determination during an era when automotive technology was still in its infancy. This vintage photograph not only transports us back to a significant moment in motoring history but also serves as a reminder of how far we have come since then. It symbolizes an era when innovation and adventure were intertwined with every turn of those spoked wheels
