Etretat Hill Climb 2017 - VHC Post Historic

One of the best looking post-historic cars was this 1987 Alpine V6 GTA Turbo of Tim Jeffrey.

The third category of the VHC cars at Etretat were the Post-Historique cars built after 1976.  This was a relatively small category of nine cars but it wasn't decided until the last run and added a nice variety of cars to the event.   James Wilkinson held the hill record for these post-historic cars prior to the event in his Formula Vauxhall Reynard and it was never challenged.  James had gearbox issues with his Radical but eventually took the win on the last run.

James Wilkinson in his 1997 Radical Prosports was fastest but only managed a time on the last run. 

Paul Deslandes was fastest after the first two runs but had to settle for second place in his 1995 Caterham 7.  He also won his class.

This 1999 replica of a sixties Crossle 9S was third fastest of the post-historic category.

Taking a wide line in the under-steering 1981 MG Metro is Ryan Eamer who won his class.

Cutting a fine apex is Francis Da Silva in this 1980 Volkswagen Golf GTi

The 1987 Peugeot 205 GTi of Neil Brogden.

A welcome French competitor was Francois Prieur in this 1979 Fenouil JF79.

Finally their was this Lotus Eleven look-alike produced by Westfield and driven by Rob Hume.
