We stumbled across this event whilst walking, it looked like the best club to be a member of. Fantastic to see the ability of the cars, drivers and bouncers in action ...... functional engineering at its best. Awesome fun for all and everyone was having a great day out!
That's a GN. The 'road' here is called Drumhouse and leads up to a mine. It's unbelievably steep. It's paved now, and almost all cars reach the top. It used to be a mud track which, in English autumn weather, was almost impossible to climb. These pre war cars are surprisingly capable off roaders. Check out the outer VSCC trials and event vids.
and on the occasions when a car did come to grinding halt....so did the filming! I would have liked to have seen how the crews coped with getting their car moving again
@@2Truth2you - In my own experience, unlikely. Haters gonna hate, sadly. Best to ignore them and not waste your time dealing with narrow minded idiots.
@@AB-pl1ko I think this is still a kind of challenge when cars of the 1930ies where used on gravel roads like in their heydays ! So it doesn´t need more obstacles than the classic engineering itself . Most of the old cars are in good shape and known by their drivers very well so breakdowns are very rare and every car climbing that hill is a winner
Even some average people kept their granddads cars alive with more enthusiasm than money and they get their investment of time and devotion back : sheer bliss and fun during historical hillclimbs

Shame it's not advertised more I'd have gone to see this it looked like a great day out
Incredible when you think how old they are. I worry about taking my classics across muddy fields in the summer!
2 Min 30 Seconds, Could someone please identify the vehicle for me it sounded fantastic. Brilliant scenery amazing machine's well done all.

Wow! Are better than modern offroads.
Rear-wheel drive is good.
I do not think that my Volvo 850 with front-wheel drive
would be able to handle those slopes.
wow, and I thought it was hard on my big bike. Great video and event! Thanks
Sweet vistas. Must be glorious there. Someday I'll make it over. Dreaming..
where is this competition please ?
See you don’t need a land rover.
めっちゃ面白そう
Not really a good day to treat a centenarian.
Sorry folks, It's not very interesting when every car clears every section. You either need MUD, or it needs to be steeper.

Aw, c'mon !!! You gotta be kidding. A bunch of millionaires in ugly , underpowered cars, pretending to do a hill climb !?!?!?
There's still hope for you.
