EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from the early 1920s, we are transported back to the iconic Brooklands motor racing circuit in Surrey. The image captures two distinguished figures who played a significant role in shaping the future of British motoring. Standing side by side, John Portwine and Selwyn Edge exude an air of confidence as they engage in conversation. Dressed impeccably in their tailored suits and hats, they epitomize the style and elegance of the era. Portwine, a prominent racing driver with a passion for speed, shares a moment with Edge - founder of AC Cars - discussing their shared vision for pushing boundaries within motorsport. As directors of this pioneering car manufacturing company based in Weybridge, England, both men were instrumental in advancing automotive technology during this transformative period. The backdrop of Brooklands' famous banking adds an element of drama to the scene. This legendary racetrack was not only renowned for its thrilling races but also served as a hub for innovation and trade within the industry. As we gaze upon this remarkable portrait captured by Bill Brunell's lens, we are reminded of these visionary individuals whose contributions laid the foundation for modern-day motorsport. Their legacy lives on through their dedication to excellence and relentless pursuit of speed that continues to inspire generations today.
