| A Bugatti makes the climb at Prescott 40 years ago. |
Today I would have been at Prescott for the opening round of the 2020 British Hillclimb championship. Of course with the current Covid19 crisis, neither the event or my travel will happen. By a curious coincidence, yesterday I picked up a long forgotten photo album and found some black and white photos I took about 40 years ago in 1980 at Prescott.
They were taken on a Minolta 430E 110 format camera. At the time a very compact camera for basic snap shots. Strangely it makes the photos of a classic car meeting look even more distant and nostalgic! The format and black and white plus the cars themselves takes you back a further 50 years to the 1930s. I decided to leave them all in the original 4x3 format.
