EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the thrilling spirit of early motor car racing, with Sir Henry Tim Birkin (1897-1966) at the wheel of his iconic Bentley Blower. Taken circa 1932, the image transports us back to an era of daring speed and dashing style. Birkin, a British racing driver and engineer, was a prominent figure in the motorsport world during the 1920s and 1930s. Known for his fearless driving and innovative engineering, he set numerous records and won several prestigious races, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1930. In this photograph, Birkin wears the distinctive goggles and leather helmet that were essential protective gear for drivers in the era. His intense focus and determination are palpable as he prepares to take on the track. The photograph is signed by Sir Henry Tim Birkin, adding an extra layer of historical significance to this image. The roaring engines, the dusty terrain, and the sense of danger and excitement make this photograph a must-have for any motorsport or automobile enthusiast. The 1930s was a golden age for motor racing, and this photograph is a testament to the passion and adventure that defined the sport during that time.
