EDITORS COMMENTS
Bugatti and Renault poised for an exhilarating start at the Vintage Cup, Crystal Palace, 1939. This print captures a moment frozen in time as two iconic vintage cars prepare to race. On the left of the frame stands the sleek Bugatti Open 2-seater from 1910, its regal presence exuding elegance and power. Behind it, taking center stage, is the Renault Open 4-seater from 1911 with its robust build and commanding stance. The drivers are introduced as C. W. P Hampton behind the wheel of Bugatti Entry No: 2 and H. C Hunter piloting the Renault Entry No:3. The anticipation among spectators is palpable as they eagerly await this thrilling display of speed and skill. Set against the backdrop of Crystal Palace in Sydenham, London, this image transports us back to a bygone era when motor racing was still in its infancy. The atmosphere is electric; you can almost hear the roar of engines revving up for action. This photograph not only showcases these magnificent vintage cars but also serves as a testament to Britain's rich motoring heritage. It encapsulates a time when motor sport was celebrated with fervor and passion. A true treasure from our National Motor Museum collection captured by renowned artist Bill Brunell (W. J Brunell), this stunning monochrome print invites us to relive an unforgettable moment in automotive history.
