The crown jewel of the Vintage Sports Car Club during the new normal

In the pre-Covid days, the Prescott Hill Climb, organised by the VSCC, was considered the Mecca for PreWarCar enthusiasts. It is not only the hill climb itself but also the lifestyle that drives many to make the annual trip to the Cotswolds in the UK in their vintage cars.

This year the event is being held again (7 and 8 August) and, although not everything is as it used to be, the organisers are doing their best to make it happen in the new normal. This means good cars, some spectators and most probably a lot of fun!

How it will be in the future, we don't know. The pandemic is not over yet, but we do know that we all want to enjoy old cars and good company again. So let's see what it was like after an even bigger crisis (WWII) and how people enjoyed the weekend afterwards. A film of the Prescott Hill Climb on 31 August 1946.

We wish all participants in and visitors to the Prescott Hill Climb a fantastic weekend.
