EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1933, we are transported back in time to witness the exhilarating MCC London to Exeter Trial. The image captures the determined J. C. Elwes, behind the wheel of his Singer Le Mans, as he valiantly tackles a treacherous hill during this grueling endurance race. As Elwes maneuvers his vintage sports car up the incline, it becomes evident that even with its impressive power, additional assistance is required. Enter a majestic traction engine that comes to his aid, lending a helping hand in conquering nature's challenge. The atmosphere surrounding this snapshot is palpable - one can almost feel the excitement and anticipation radiating through the air. Spectators line both sides of the road, their faces reflecting a mix of awe and admiration for these brave competitors who push themselves and their machines to their limits. This photograph not only encapsulates an iconic moment in motorsport history but also serves as a testament to human determination and resilience. It reminds us of an era when racing was raw and unfiltered; where drivers relied on sheer skill and mechanical prowess rather than modern-day technology. Autocar's preservation of this timeless image allows us to appreciate both the beauty of classic automobiles and the indomitable spirit that drives individuals towards greatness on challenging terrains.
