Pre-war racing and vintage road cars at VSCC Loton Park hillclimb are recalled in this video. The VSCC (Vintage Sports Car Club) stages hillclimbs at various venues throughout the year, and Loton Park in Shropshire has regularly hosted pre-war VSCC-era cars for some years now. As my son (13) and I both like pre-war cars, and pre-war racing and sportscars in particular, we always try and pop over to Loton Park when there's a VSCC meeting taking place.
Competing cars that feature here include ERA, Bugatti Type 51, many Austin 7 and Riley -based specials, several Bentleys, and a wonderful assortment of one-off specials such as "Maggot", "Wasp", "Grannie" and the Singer-based "Bantam", to name just a few. Don't miss the footage of the ERA being warmed up and also out on the course.
Of course in addition to all the VSCC racing cars in attendance there are plenty of road-going vintage cars to ogle over, and many have made it into this hill climb video. The Ansaldo tourer in particular was a rare sighting.
Hopefully this vintage cars video will appeal to road- and race-car fans alike. This doesn't attempt to record every pre-war car and every run that took place at VSCC Loton Park 2021 hillclimb, rather to capture the atmosphere of the event as a whole, from a spectator's point of view. If your car is featured somewhere, please say hello in the comments.
