Capturing the Thrill of Speed - Alfa Romeo RL Conquers Beggars Roost in the Mid Surrey AC Barnstaple Trial, 1934
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from 1934, we witness a moment frozen in time - an Alfa Romeo RL, with its sleek Italian design and powerful engine, competes in the prestigious Mid Surrey AC Barnstaple Trial. The vehicle's registration number YL3644 proudly adorns its front grille as it takes on the challenging uphill climb at Beggars Roost in Devon. The image showcases not only the beauty of this classic car but also captures the essence of motor sport during Britain's rural countryside era. Spectators line up along the rugged road to catch a glimpse of Bill Brunell behind the wheel, skillfully maneuvering through treacherous terrain. With his determination visible on his face, he embodies both driver and machine working harmoniously to conquer nature's obstacles. This photograph serves as a metaphor for human ambition and perseverance against all odds. It transports us back to a time when rallying was more than just a sport; it was an exhilarating display of courage and skill that united people from all walks of life. Preserved by Heritage Images and housed within the National Motor Museum archives, this vintage print allows us to appreciate not only our automotive heritage but also reminds us of our shared passion for speed, adventure, and pushing boundaries. Let your imagination race alongside these pioneers as they navigate
