EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken in 1935 at the MG Car Club Rushmere Hillclimb in Shropshire, we witness a thrilling moment of automotive history. The image showcases two iconic racing cars side by side, ready to conquer the challenging uphill climb. On the left stands the powerful Singer with its impressive 1496 cc engine, while on the right is the nimble Riley Imp boasting an 1089 cc powerhouse. Both vehicles exude elegance and speed as they await their turn to tackle Rushmere Hill. Behind the wheel of car number 53 is none other than B. Bira, also known as Birabongse Bhanutej Bhanubandh – a legendary racing driver who made his mark on British motorsport during this era. As spectators eagerly watch from afar, anticipation fills the air for what promises to be an exhilarating race. The picturesque countryside setting adds charm to this snapshot of classic car culture. With its rustic surroundings and steep terrain, Rushmere Hill provides a metaphorical challenge that only true motoring enthusiasts dare to conquer. This vintage photograph not only captures a significant moment in motor racing history but also serves as a testament to Britain's rich automotive heritage. It reminds us of an era when drivers like Bira pushed themselves and their machines to new limits in pursuit of victory on these treacherous hill climbs. Preserved by Heritage Images for future generations, this remarkable print allows us all to appreciate and admire the skill, bravery
