I was there too, the GT40 was special, and he didnt drive it like a wuss either.

Where was the Sea King pic taken ? I saw one go past but he was enroute somewhere.

Isnt that the caravan site beyond the hillclimb track ?

That makes sense, I left at about 1230 when the lunch break started.

My first visit to a hillclimb, I will definitely be back - I was at Elvington last year and again , friendly bunch, but nothing to see once the cars left the start line, but Harewood is excellent.

agreed the MG was the cleanest car there, real class - I liked the twin fuel filler caps - sad or what

Im going to need someone to give me a clue with the car when its finished, and I will definitely look into this.

I've been going to Prescot hillclimb in Gloucestershire for more years than I care to remember and as a veiwing track for spectators I think it would be hard to beat, you can see more than 50% of the track from allmost anywhere. Plus some fantastic cars and bikes, and you can walk around the pits too.
