Steven,
Well done for flagging this important centenary event. Nigh on 10 years ago, and being an MAC member, I realised, a few days before the event, that the MAC had an event on the actual 90th anniversary of the first climb of one of the prototypes driven by Lou Kings. A quick call to Robin Boyce and the MAC office secured slots for Robins ‘23 Chummy and our ‘29 Chummy to make celebratory demonstration runs up the hill during the lunch break, and with appropriate commentary. I think Robin wrote a short article for either the MA7C or the Association magazines.
Shelsley is a power hill, I drove Tony Hutchins OK 7095 replica at a VSCC Shelsley in the 70s, with its virtually standard engine, it was a leisurely drive up the hill.
We plan to be there with the Chummy and Super Sports in 2022.
Regards,
Paul Cooper.
