La Vie en Bleu Prescott - pictures

[carlo]

Went to this Bugatti Hill Climb at Prescott today and very glad I did, it was fantastic. I mainly went to see the French car marque classics there but to be honest that was the weakest part of the show, there were very few there. But to see, and hear, all these vintage racers doing what they were supposed to do was a privilege. Will certainly be going again - even the weather was perfect being dry and mainly sunny. Only downer was the 1 hour jam on the country road getting into the place. Here's some pics.

 

Passed at least 2 old classics broken down in the jam waiting to get in. They really should organise these events better.

 

 

This was a cut above your usual car park fare:

 

 

And this rather lovely Aston

 

 

Nice Plymouth Barracuda

 

 

Literally 100s of Bugattis of all ages and sizes, here are a few

 

 

 

 

Ready to go:

 

 

There was numerous French stuff going on, including these three French dancing girls in black. The one with the black hair was a bit of a cutie, she ended up in a few of my photos.

 

 

No idea what this was but it's a monster

 

 

And this:

 

 

Ah, some autoshite, two of these

 

 

Love Facels, here's a Facellia

 

 

Some detail pics

 

 

 

More modern shite

 

 

Nice Renner 12 Gordini

 

 

And more old racers:

 

 

 

 

And a Renault Alpine

Here's the other Rancho, was in last months C & S I think.

Aye. The racing action was brilliant, but the queues to get in were horrific. I arrived at lunchtime thinking it would have quietened down but it was still an absolute standstill.

 

And yes, the brunette was a cutie and may have ended up in quite a few of my pics too...

That Pic Pic is 'superbe'!

 

Shame they make the racers wear modern helmets, I love action shots of vintage cars but the plastic pots ruin them...
