No way was this 1973, the dress code looks late 50s early 60s. Great video all the same. Times were much simpler and definitely kinder.

think this must be early sixties... remember seeing David Goode and Patsy Burt at Stapleford Hill Climb Essex....same cars in 1961

Can't get over how old looking they all are s.

Mid 60is ide say great film though 👍🇬🇧👍👍

Thank you loved the video.

This film is of the hillclimb on 14th June 1959. The red car at 2:53 is the ERA Special of James Berry. (From MAC Archivist)

Another superb film !!!💥

Looks much much earlier then 1973!

I'm amazed how things changed so quickly. This was my first year at Shelsley. By 1981 ADO was roaring up in what was basically an F1 car.

David Boshier Jones retired at the end of the 1960 season and he features here, so the film must be 1960 or earlier.

I'm struck by the number of fans. Had no idea hill climb was fairly well attended back then.

This looks like the British Championship round in 1959.

this is NOT 1973 .its older by at least ten years

Such a rough surface!

I think we are both right and wrong David. I got the engine wrong but the chassis is the ex Bob Gerard Cooper with the ERA engine squeezed in. In recent years the car was restored as a Cooper Bristol by Dick Crosthwaite and competes in historic races still.

Sydney Allard died in 1966, so....

1973? Chris Summers looks extremely good, considering his fatal accident at Snetterton in 1970.

I blame Raymond Mays for the twin rear wheels

Fab stuff. Anyone know what the red car at 2:53 is ?

Looks older then 73?

Those where car's the today's one's are too smart,they drove themselves just likes birds halfways machines the others parts pilots.

Clearly not 1973 ,check out those crash helmets.
