Prescott Hill Climb

Anyone going to Prescott this weekend? I’ll be strolling round the car park (3ltr. SV4568) and paddock on Saturday morning, usually a nice selection of WO cars about.
If you want to go, one has to buy tickets in advance via the Bugatti Owners Club.

Yes, but that's only to watch, as visitors are not allowed to play.

I will be there but (sorry) in my Le Mans Aston BPC 831.
Hope weather holds.

I wouldn’t apologise for the Aston, that is a fabulous car!

John
I'll be there with the 3 litre. Running No.91. Come and find me in the paddock and say hello.

Congratulations to Iain Warner for being 1st in class on handicap, such a super looking car.
Also Alastair Littlewood for such a quick run in his 3/4.5 to win his class on handicap.
I spent a lot of time in the car park chatting to delightful people who I had not met before and spotting interesting variations in different cars!

Just what i do John - you meet some really interesting people and their cars and i get the feeling some of them only 'come out' for Prescott.
Particularly like the RR Phantom 1 (or Ghost) rolling chassis.
Did he really drive it there -just like they went to the Coachbuilders.
And the magnificent 6 1/2 chauffeur driven complete with microphone.
Oh and some nice W.O.'s

Well done Iain for upholding the honour of the 3 Litres. I hope it's not too lonely in Class 5 now.

Actually the congratulations for me were a little premature. Alistair Littlewood had originally been shown in class 6 whereas he is in class 5 and therefore took the handicap award there.
Interestingly Alistair now drives the ex Paul Tunnicliffe 3 litre and is several seconds faster than Paul used to be in it. And a lot faster than me!

Iain, Alastair’s car was listed as a 3/4.5. So has probably got 50% more bhp than you, one would expect him to be a lot faster!

I presume the 3 / 4.5 listing was a mistake. He wouldn't be allowed in Class 5 with a 4.5 litre engine. And Paul's car was a 3 Litre.

It is a bit confusing, the results seem to have been adjusted with Iain now shown as 2nd on hadicap behind an SA Speed 20 Alvis.
Alastair (shown as 3/4.5) also 2nd on handicap but in class 11.
