EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time - the Ford Model A of JW Robbins fearlessly fording the mighty River Exe at Yealscombe, Devon. It was taken during the JCC Lynton Trial in 1932, an event that showcased both the resilience of early 20th-century automobiles and the skill of their drivers. The image showcases a classic car from the 1930s, with its vintage charm emanating through every detail. The Ford Model A, registered as OU7923, stands proudly amidst the picturesque countryside of England's Devon region. Its presence evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era when motoring was still an adventurous concept. JW Robbins can be seen confidently navigating his way across the river, displaying remarkable driving prowess. This rally driver finished third in this challenging trial, leaving his mark on history alongside his trusty vehicle. The rustic surroundings add to the allure of this photograph - it is as if time has stood still in this tranquil rural setting. The monochrome composition enhances its timeless appeal while highlighting every nuance and texture captured by photographer Bill Brunell. Preserved within this image is not just a vintage car crossing a river; it represents an era defined by exploration and determination.
