Stormin 9,981 #1 Posted November 12, 2022 Today was the Vintage Sports Car Club Lakeland Trial. I was marshaling on one of the sections. Fortunately the weather stay dry and not the gale force winds we'd had for the last two days. Cold though. So here's a few photo's. Basically a steep hill climb. The camera doesn't do the steepness justice. From where I was standing to the top was about 1 in 3. 6 5 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stormin 9,981 #3 Posted November 12, 2022 I should add that the vehicles had to reverse down as no room to turn at the top. Passengers had to disembark and walk down. One did roll but driver and car OK. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Handy Don 12,233 #9 Posted November 13, 2022 I've always loved watching those gutsy little Austins. Great to see quite a few of those old motors in the hands of the next generation! Just returned from a week driving around Oxfordshire, Wales, and Somerset in a rented Corolla with heat and cruise control . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stormin 9,981 #13 Posted November 15, 2022 (edited) It's a GN, Jim. British make. Transverse V twin. A JAP I expect. That's the same car in the preceding photo. Google GN car for history. Edited November 15, 2022 by Stormin 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
