EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the 1930s, a Raleigh Three-Wheeler car, specifically a Raleigh Safety Seven model, is seen parked on the picturesque moorlands of Dartmoor National Park in Devon, England. The Raleigh Safety Seven, introduced in 1933, was a popular and innovative vehicle of its time, boasting three wheels for improved stability and safety. With its distinctive design and charming appearance, it has become a rare and unusual sight in automobile history. The year is estimated to be around 1934, as Raleigh's Motor Department had shut down by 1935. The adventurous couple in the photograph have embarked on a camping trip, setting up their tent nearby. The rugged terrain of Dartmoor, with its vast expanses of moorland and scattered trees, provides a perfect backdrop for their journey. The West Country's natural beauty and rich history have drawn them to this national park, where they can enjoy the simple pleasures of the great outdoors. The Raleigh Three-Wheeler, with its quirky charm and practicality, was an ideal choice for such a trip. Its compact size and three wheels made it easier to navigate the rough terrain, while its sturdy build ensured a comfortable and safe ride. The image captures a moment in time, showcasing the spirit of adventure and the unique charm of the 1930s. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of the open road and the beauty of the natural world.
