In this snapshot from 1930, we witness the heart-pounding action at Simms Hill in Ilsington, Devon during the renowned B&HMC Brighton-Beer Trial. The focal point is a magnificent Riley Open 4-seater tourer, a classic car that exudes elegance and power. Its registration number PK5953 proudly displayed on its sleek frame. Behind the wheel sits driver Montague Johnson, C. J. S. , ready to conquer Dartmoor's treacherous terrain. As spectators line up along the rustic hillside road, their eyes fixed on this daring display of motor sport prowess. The hairpin bend ahead presents an exhilarating challenge for both man and machine - a metaphorical test of strength against nature's geographical features. With every twist and turn, Bill Brunell expertly maneuvers his vintage car through this demanding uphill climb. The crowd watches in awe as he navigates each corner with precision and grace. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also reflects Britain's rich automotive heritage. It transports us back to an era where rural life intersected with motorsport excitement - showcasing how these events brought communities together while celebrating engineering marvels like Riley cars.
