Thinking of Hillclimbing - Questions

[combover]

I am thinking of getting into hillclimbing and wondered what would be the best for me.
Basically, I want to know how I would go about it, what rules and regs there are and classes and such like.
What car would be the best to start with? I'm thinking Austin-Healey Sprite or Triumph GT6 at the moment, but what do you think?

Any tips, hints or otheriwse are all welcome.

I'm in Cheshire. Having looked at it, this is something I want to do. The info provided here is great, but I also want to know about your personal hints and tips.
