More pictures from Shelsley Walsh

Centenary event provides some cracking cars

---

Shelsley Walsh's centenary hillclimb this weekend saw some superb cars in action -- see yesterday's story (link below) for the big story about Lotus' new Circuit Car -- so here's an opportunity to take a look at a small selection of them.

Andy Priaulx / BMW Touring Car	Malcolm Dungworth / Dax Rush
Ron Welsh / Felday Daimler	Chris Williams / enormously loud 24-litre W12 Napier-Bentley
David Good / Cooper V-Twin	George Tatum / McLaren M12C

This is Mark Walker with his Panhard et Levassor 1908 Grand Prix car (12.8 litres). No front brakes, but he can really throw it around the hill (and it's road registered too!).
