Etretat-Bénouville Hillclimb 2018 - Pre War Standard and Modified Sports Cars

My final post on the 2018 Course de Côte d'Etretat-Bénouville VHC, covers the Pre War VSCC standard and modified sports cars.  The earliest was from 1925 and the latest from 1939.  I managed to take a reasonable variety of photos both on the course, just after the finish line and in the paddock.  All of the cars that competed are shown below, in the order that they were classified with the fastest first.   My favourites this year were the MGs, particularly that of Barry Foster who was looking very French in his beret.

Fastest of this group was Peter Edney in his 1939 MG TB.
