EDITORS COMMENTS
In a thrilling display of vintage automobile prowess, the veteran car clubs rally to Godstone, Surrey witnessed an extraordinary hill climb event. The competitors? Ancient cars, none later than 1904! This print captures a defining moment during the race as J M Turner's 1899 Panhard (No. 8) overtakes P Fotheringham Parker's 1898 Century Tricar on Old Crocks Hill. The atmosphere was electric as these early automotive marvels showcased their endurance and determination. The crowd watched in awe as these historic vehicles defied gravity and pushed themselves to the limit. However, not all were able to conquer the treacherous hill climb. In this snapshot frozen in time from April 16th, 1937, we witness Parker's Century Tricar swinging around on the hill but ultimately losing its momentum and starting its descent once again. It serves as a testament to both the challenges faced by these pioneers of motoring and their unwavering spirit. This monochrome photograph perfectly encapsulates a significant era between the wars when Europeana photography flourished. Preserved by TopFoto. co. uk for generations to come, it allows us to appreciate the ingenuity and courage of those who paved the way for modern-day automobiles.
