Infiltrator Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 I remember when I was young the hill climbs at sumburgh , sunbeam lotus tearing up the hill , the engine note on that thing ! Must still be a hill with a decent road somewhere, bet some of the diesels would be in the running as well up the hill . I remember taking part you could just get into 3rd gear across the finish line if you were lucky. Sunbeams were impressive - had a shot of the blue Avon one, the dog leg box was a nightmare if you weren't used to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fontal Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 We looked in to hill climbs the last time and if I remember right in order to take part the cars would need a roll cage and electrical cut off the drivers would need full race gear suit and helmet. Now how many people are going to do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronald Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Red tape ruins every thing now ! The blue sunbeam was owned by the same guy who had the black one iirc , from spiggie ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavbey Posted April 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 We looked in to hill climbs the last time and if I remember right in order to take part the cars would need a roll cage and electrical cut off the drivers would need full race gear suit and helmet. Now how many people are going to do that? is that even with private hill climb compititions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infiltrator Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 The blue sunbeam was owned by the same guy who had the black one iirc , from spiggie ? If I remember correctly he did own them both, can't remember in which order though, I think he had the blue one and took the black one in p/ex, I'm sure the black one had the skip brown big valve head conversion. Thinking about it, I think he owned the black one twice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shetlandpeat Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Red tape ruins every thing now ! It is why we cannot have "street races" in the UK. That has been for years. Except for the Isle of Man. Though a private island could be a venue, hard to come by with a well built road network. Oh, and too many pot holes.
