Photograph of drivers running to their cars, Ards Tourist Trophy Race, 1929

from Public Record Office of Northern Ireland

    61 & 60 are Arrol-Aster 2.4litre, 59 & 58 are Ford 2litre. 56-52 are Bugatti 2.3litre, 51 is a French SARA 1.8litre. Interesting to see them racing with the roof up!
  • Simon Johnston said:
    Oh dear, @Notes. The race regulations required them to complete the first two laps with their hoods up - common racing practice in those days for touring car races, such as Le Mans.
  • Simon Johnston said:
    In 1928 they had to put the hoods up and race for two laps with them up; in 1929 they had to put them down before setting off.

    The registration plates noted are from Tipperary South Riding, does not add much for the purposes of dating the photo. HI 1 to HI 9999 (Dec 1903 - Sep 1954).

    O’Gorman premises (Head Office, Sales Department & Showrooms) at 36 & 37 Parnell Street, Clonmel, Tipperary. Comments: I believe the 2 Fords (with starter handles) are the same type? The strange, very clean car windscreen. The near front side, wonky looking wooden wheel. A shop front display, comprising of a radiator, starter handle and lights! Car registration 'HI 424' on the radiator. And a werewolf of place, next door to the premises! See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O'Gorman_Coach_Builders This showroom is next to Hearns Hotel(which is still there today), where Charles Bianconi established his horse-drawn coach travel empire.

    Is that the edge of Baggot St. bridge on the bottom right or am I completely lost?
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Hi Sharon, I think so though I have not tried to research it yet!
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    It looks about right on the OSI map - particularly the couple of buildings on the left, then an empty bit. If so, it looks a bit different now.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Looking at it on Streetview (I'm not too good at uploading the Streetview link) it appears that the building down about 100 yards on the left is the current IBEC building! The street doesn't appear half as wide and open today, were the buildings rebuilt closer together?

    National Library of Ireland on The Commons I think the island with trees in the middle of the road makes it look narrower.
