Kop Hill

[anonymous-user]

Year on year it continues to grow, totally packed on Sunday with the usual mix of classics and modern cars on show.

Full album here...

The Bentley was stunning. Is it standard to wrap all of the leaf springs etc, it looked very well prepared indeed.





Even more so the unique ways in which things were evolved. Some of the fuel systems had me a little confused as to why they would actually work



Good for moving wildlife from underneath the car, exposed flywheel, amazing ;D



On top of this the wall of death was probably the best £2.50 I have ever spent, proper old school risks.

I'm really annoyed that I couldn't make it this year, looks better than ever. Thanks for sharing the photos.

There is always a fabulous selection of high quality cars and bikes on show,
but the actual hill climb element is dreadful from a spectator's point of view.

Agreed. Within 10 mins of watching the ancient stuff crawl up the hill I have lost interest. The real kicker is at the end the sponsors cars arrive, last year this included a Tesla, Renault SUV and some other tat. They could liven things up a little by relaxing the event a bit. I guess that's not the point.

Never the less, it is a brilliant spectacle, with some very nice cars on show.

Nice pics yonex.

I like the Kop Hill Climb, it has a nice scale and feel. The hill climb itself not really the attraction for me at this event, but the static display is very good. It's a local one for me, but I would travel much further to it if I had to (or knew of similar further afield).

A bit after the fact, but thanks for the nice comments and yes we are trying to improve the spectators view on the hill whilst keeping the 'revival' feel to the event, reviving the original early 1900's version of the event.

You can drive up any time you like - it's a public road.
