The image showcases Bentley of May Cunliffe as she fearlessly competes in the MAC Shelsley Walsh Hillclimb, Worcestershire, back in 1927. Behind the wheel of her powerful Bentley 2996 cc, Miss Cunliffe exudes confidence and determination as she navigates through the challenging course. The scene is set on a picturesque avenue lined with enthusiastic spectators who have gathered to witness this exhilarating event. Amongst the crowd, we can spot men and women alike, all captivated by the spectacle unfolding before their eyes. Their faces filled with anticipation and excitement reflect their deep appreciation for both Miss Cunliffe's skillful driving and the beauty of classic cars from that era. Bill Brunell expertly captures this historic moment with his camera lens, freezing it forever in time. His monochrome composition adds an air of nostalgia to the image while highlighting every detail - from Miss Cunliffe's focused expression to her firm grip on the steering wheel. As we gaze upon this vintage snapshot, we are transported back to an era when motor racing was still a male-dominated sport. May Cunliffe defied societal norms by showcasing her talent behind the wheel, becoming an inspiration for future generations of female drivers. This print serves as a testament to not only Miss Cunliffe's bravery but also to Britain's rich motoring heritage. It
