Dan3222 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Does anyone have any info they would be willing to share on Hillclimb experience? I attended the Harewood Hall Hillclimb this weekend and got quite a buzz from it. From properly radicalised classics like a Fiat 500 with an R1 engine over the back wheels, Scoobies and Evos making it look easy even in the wet to formula 2 style cars. However the class that takes my fancy is the road going unmodified class. It was great fun watching 205's, Saxo's and 3 stunning S2000's (which where my favorites on the day) tearing up a purpose built track!! So before I list a few of the cars I currently own that I am thinking on preparing i thought I would ask if anyone can give info on potential initial set up costs and then yearly budgets required. any info would be gratefully received. If people are interested I can list the cars I have and would think of using, but none of which are Audi so I would understand if nobody would be bothered. Thanks in advance.

Trevor Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Hi Dan I share your interest in Hillclimbing...purely as a spectator and not a competitor though. Would love to have a look at your list. Cheers, Trevor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan3222 Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 Cheers Trevor, The day was brilliant and some of the cars quite special. No Audis or Golfs there though!! I really cheesed a bloke off there too lol. I said I could probably get up the track faster than the Westfields in my A6 in the heavy rain that occurred in the afternoon with my Uniroyal tyres. I was only joking, well half 🙃 joking but he ripped me a new one😜 So the list is as so.... NB I have my own idea on the best car and then also the easiest to prep. All of which have to be either rebuilt or re MOTed but I am more interested in which car people think would be best irrespective of the amount of work they may need. 1982 Golf GTI 1.6 110BHP 1972 TVR 2500 BHP from 125-180 1990 Tigra 1.6i (16V ) 120bHP 1982 MG Midget 1500. 70BHP 2004 Golf GTI MKIV 18 T. 150BHP Answers on a post card please. My other idea is flog the MKIV to fund the project? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
