Prescott Revisited

- We're nearly there with the Bugatti, so thought where better than Prescott to take it for its first proper outing. www.prescotthillclimb.co.uk/
It was the Prescott Historique meeting this weekend, with a wide variety of vintage and sports cars racing up the hill.
The car went well and we had a fabulous day.
Ivan used to go to Prescott pretty regularly in the 1980s and 1990s but hadn't been for years and was really impressed with the transformation.
A highlight was catching up with Angela Hucke, who is curator of the Bugatti Trust. This museum is really well worth a visit, if you're interested in Bugattis, engineering, automotive design or just appreciated a well curated assembly of interesting artefacts. www.bugatti-trust.co.uk/

Ivan, great stuff, far better watching 30 minutes of your stuff, with Suzie than any rubbish on main stream TV, all original, educational and honest, thanks.
It is just a joy to watch a good honest and friendly video. You and your friends are true engineers who just make something if it is missing, broken or melted…no talk of money, collectability or being in a mirror coated, memorabilia filled, leather seated garage…just a shed full of old bits, loads of tools and oily men who know what to do about anything with old cars. No pretension…no envy..no false disaster lines…just good engineers. My old friend Bill was a Rolls Royce trained aero mechanic during the War and became a motor mechanic afterwards until he died in 1997. He was never fazed by anything…I watched him build a good gearbox out of two secondhand ones to help out a friend who was down on his luck but needed a car for work. In a deep bakers tray filled with diesel, he stripped and threw in the whole lot together and from the black depths, found bits like a lucky dip and decided if it was useable or scrap then rebuilt the whole thing. The result was perfect with a few new parts added and worked better than any box we had driven before. Old engineers like Ivan and his friends are valuable people and will have a place in history as we move to this new EV Dream…I’m glad I’m 76 and lived a life of cars as we knew them…those times are vanishing fast.🫢🫢😳😀😀😀😀
Thank you Ivan and Susie for an excellent, entertaining and informative video. Cheers from NZ🇳🇿.
So wonderful having Suzie so involved, it seems she has a special group of cars and a keen interest. Great fun for us "out here"
Mr Ivan you and Suzie are super stars oh mustn’t for get John, what a team 👴🏻👍
We'll listen to every story you're willing to tell us! Cheers! Alberta Canada
What a lovely car 😮 you all are so clever
Very much appreciate sharing the weekend and all the cars and joy. Thank you.
was beginning to think "old"John didn't drive - great to see him having a go!
Thanks Ivan, Susie & nice to have John talking more.
I love Prescott, have been going there for 40+ years. A mate of mine designed the Trust building. Next time you are in the area try to grab a visit to the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway at Toddington. You can hear the loco's whistle from Prescott. Another piece of nostalgia to wallow in.
Just brilliant - There's never any dramas in your shed. Shed of solutions.
A lovely sunny day at Prescott on Saturday. I saw Ivan & Susie in the paddock. Always worth a visit to the Bugatti Trust: they currently have one of the original Type 35s on display to celebrate 100 years since their first appearance in the 1924 French Grand Prix at Lyon.
Brilliant….. looked a lovely day
Well guys, that was totally spiffing. Bravo!
Gotta like an old grumpy (well maybe not so grumpy 😜)British Mechanic coming from an old grumpy Fabricator from the US like your channel!
Thanks for taking us along on your outing. Those are some great cars!
Fantastic weekend, great cars, Ivan the knowledgeable, the lovely Suzie and the legend that is John. Perfection.
Best wishes, Dean at Retromeccanica.
Most enjoyable thanks team
this, Tally Ho and Olive & Mabel are the most wholesome things on the Interweb
Ivan and Suzy - every one of your videos makes me smile. Good stuff again as usual.
simply wonderful and as so many say could listen to Ivan all day long such experience and knowledge too , and Suzy drove the Bugatti so well , thanks team she racing for all the videos
The Bugatti is looking terrific! Seems like you both had a lovely time at Prescott! Cheers, Paul.
Another show filled with all the goodies I've come to expect. Cheers from my shed
While you were travelling around the grounds of the club I followed you on Google Maps. The street view stopped at the Bugatti Trust building. Some great machines there on the day. Thanks, Susie and Ivan.
Fantastic video, haven't been to Prescott for years, makes me want to revisit. Thanks Ivan, Susie and John.
Some fancy classics there and the Bugattis were great as well. Living the life you kids, thanks for taking us along.
Fantastic day out at Prescott well documented. Thanks once again for your insight into the dirty parts of Bugatti ownership. Wonderful channel boys and girls.
Fabulous! Thanks for taking me along. Sincerely enjoyed it. ❤
Great to see you in my local area.... Hope you you return to Prescott soon.
Suzie -- these are by far the best episodes of Shed Racig that have been made. Your Bugatti is beautiful along with all the other vintage machines featured in these presentations. I live in a river town in the deep midwest of the United States and we never see cars like this. As for Bugattis, and the other vehicles featured in this video (especially the 16 cylinder BRM) in this country these cars are either in museums or private collections very far away. Perhaps it is a function of location, but when you go to a car show in this country, you mainly see street rods, resto-mods of vintage cars or straight restorations of production cars. People in Great Britain seem to have a different approach as to why and how you restore a car and what you use them for after they are restored. I personally would love for Ivan to do a video on Coventry Climax engines. John Cooper used these, so did Colin Chapman in the early Lotus F-1 cars. Does Ivan have any cars with one of these engines? I remember seeing pictures of them in Road & Track magazine when I was a very little boy but there are not many in this country. There are a thousand and one questions I wish I could ask Ivan about all things racing during the glory days, when machines were made out of metal and composites were unheard of. This is some of the finest content on You Tube.
Great video keep ‘em coming.
Fabulous. Thanks.
Thank you for this Ivan. I've not been to Prescott for many years but it reminded me it's the best meeting on earth when the weather is like this!
A total knockout loved the video with all the Team members of Shed Racing thank you all .
Ivan it's wonderful to hear you talk about all of the experiences you have had and it's so nice that Susie shares the experience with you. She obviously has some driving skills herself! I love the garage stuff when you're building and repairing things but these videos with you and Susie and John doing stuff together are the very best
An absolutely brilliant video as usual. It was really great to meet up with you and Suzie at Prescott on Saturday and have a little chat. Many thanks for the photo shoot Suzie my son Steven and I will treasure the picture.
like your Ducati jacket- got a couple of those in the barn - bikes , not jackets . . . . ; )
I like the botox comment Susie, you slipped that one in....🤣
at 11:10 min Ivan love the attention and the camera
Two gear shifting how-to videos in one day. Thank you Ivan, and thank you, Iain. Pay attention kids. Long live the third pedal!
Great video Ivan Well Done
Superb, as usual but what a shame, for technical reasons you could not compete. Will we see you racing this year Ivan?
The paint work looks Immaculate👌
Great video guys! I’m so glad you are back at Prescott again! Well done on getting the Bugatti there in great condition!
What a great lineup, I love it.
Your Bugatti technical knowledge needs to be recorded for the benefit of future owners to avoid misunderstandings as you described on the steering column previously.
Yes, two days live stream 😉
Orange nail polish makes good pointers.😉
Wonderful video. What were those brass bosses on the floor panel under the rear seat? It looks like a couple of studs on the seat bottom could fit into them.
Bugattis are just as pretty under the floorboards as above...
Great to see you "in the flesh" on Saturday. Any plans to start competing again??
Phil.
you should use a oilsumpplug washer with a rubber insert to stop the oil leak its the new thing in the automotive industry commenly used bij nissan ford renault ect
its a metal ring with a rubber O ring inside that cant be compres to much because the metal ring around it wont let that happend
They are called Dowty washers.
Rather fetching sandals there Suzie...
If my dear Father had not died very young he would have looked remarkably like Ivan. Unlike Ivan, he had no mechanical ability.
How do you beat a day oit like that👍👍🦘🦘🇦🇺
