This print captures the iconic 597 cc Ariel Square Four of IH Darge, proudly displaying the silver award he won at the MCC Torquay Rally in July 1937. The powerful 997 cc motorcycle, with Event Entry No: 15, showcases the remarkable craftsmanship and engineering prowess of Ariel during this era. The image takes us back to a bygone time in British history, where motorcycling was gaining popularity as a thrilling sport. With its monochrome aesthetic, we are transported to the picturesque countryside of Devon, England. Riding along a scenic avenue lined with trees and surrounded by moorland, Darge skillfully maneuvers his motorbike through winding lanes.

The National Motor Museum serves as an ideal backdrop for this snapshot in time. As we admire this vintage photograph from the thirties, it is evident that motorcycling was more than just a means of transportation; it represented freedom and adventure. This image encapsulates the spirit of motoring enthusiasts who participated in rallies like MCC Torquay Rally - pushing themselves to their limits while reveling in the thrill of speed and competition.
