This print captures a momentous event in British automobile racing history. Taken at the BARC meeting held at Brooklands in 1933, it showcases two remarkable vehicles that left an indelible mark on the sport. In the foreground stands the Harker Special, proudly displaying its entry number 7. Behind it is the Bugatti Type 37, driven by John Appleton and adorned with entry number 5. Both cars exude elegance and power as they await their turn to conquer the iconic motor racing circuit. Noteworthy details of this photograph include the non-standard cowled radiator on the Bugatti Type 37 and a streamlined headrest designed for driver comfort. These modifications speak to the innovative spirit of both drivers, pushing boundaries in pursuit of speed and performance. The image also offers a glimpse into a bygone era, where men like W. E. Harker and John Appleton embodied daring adventure behind the wheel. Their passion for motorsport shines through as they prepare to unleash these classic cars onto Brooklands' hallowed grounds. As we admire this vintage snapshot, we are transported back to a time when motor racing was still in its infancy but already capturing hearts worldwide.
