EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the 1930s as we witness the exhilarating South Wales Auto Club Welsh Rally. The focal point of the image is the magnificent Riley Sprite 2-seater, driven by none other than Mrs. T. B. Hague herself. This classic car, a non-birdcage model from 1937 with a powerful 1496 cc engine, bears the registration number DND162. As Mrs. Hague confidently maneuvers through the picturesque countryside lanes of Wales, spectators line both sides of the avenue to catch a glimpse of this thrilling motor sport event. The atmosphere is electric as onlookers eagerly watch her skillfully navigate each twist and turn along the road. The rally serves as a testament to women's growing presence in motorsport during that era, with Mrs. T. B. Hague fearlessly defying gender norms behind the wheel of her beloved Riley Sprite. Photographed by Bill Brunell, an expert at capturing automotive moments throughout history, this monochrome masterpiece perfectly encapsulates the essence of rural life in Britain during that time period. This vintage snapshot not only showcases an iconic vehicle but also pays homage to those who pushed boundaries and shattered stereotypes in pursuit of their passion for driving fast cars and competing in exhilarating rallies like this one organized by South Wales Automobile Club (SWAC).
