VSCC Loton Park speed hillclimb | Vintage cars in the paddock and on the course inc Bugatti, ERA ++

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.

Fantastic to see that most drivers are pushing the vehicles. That's what they were made for!

I love the engines in these cars even when they are running well they go Pop Fart Bang Pop Fart Bang…Awesome.

These are toys for grownups. If I'd seen some of those tiny ones when I was 8, i would have gone nuts . I had a smile on my face thru the whole video . Thanks for showing .

I don't know much about these kinds of cars but I love all automobiles. Lovely piece of filming

[richardcreaser]

Thank you. I enjoyed that so much. I’m into my fifth year of retirement in Bangkok, Thailand. I like it here very much but I do miss the sights and sounds of those vintage vehicle meets. Thanks again for allowing them into my living room here.

What a great variety of machines. No. 160 looked like it had been stripped of anything that wasn't needed for racing. Thanks for sharing.

It's nice to see old car's reach their final form of modifications.

Your videos remind me why I love vintage Race Cars!! Very well done!!!.. I had 4 Spridgets and multiple VW'S back in the 70's and 80's. Lime Rock is a 45 minute drive...

[austinascot]

Well done. A fabulous piece of filming. High quality images with minimal voice over. A real pleasure to watch. Thanks.

[archmcdonald]

How lucky are those in the northern hemisphere to have these cars still running.

[jcgabriel]

It is so nice to see what appeared to be ERA R1A (the first ERA) back out again!

[allanriches]

Love the pre war era racing/ sports cars.

[alandavies]

Great video, I watched it late at night, and I swear I could smell the Castrol R.

22:23 Wééééééééééééééééééé (the supercharger's sound) is very cool ^^

[makingithappen]

These are many fantastic and beautiful cars, but the one I got hooked on,
is the 2-cylinder old slugger with external cam chains and many races behind it.

[landsnailproject]

Brilliant video - SO enjoyable. Nothing like the sound of a well tuned straight six! But I also love those crazy cyclecars - GN's especially. Came across this by accident and have subscribed. Thanks for sharing - Teresa

[davidwright]
