The comparatively recent revival of the hill climb<\/em> at Kop Hill has been a notable success. Our Special Correspondent attended and unearthed his usual cocktail of rare and interesting. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the\nthree Fox & Nicholl Talbot 105 team cars which won an Alpine Cup in the\n1932 Alpine Trial. The cars had special bodywork by Vanden Plas and this one\nwas driven by Norman Garrad. They all completed the arduous event without loss\nof marks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dating from 1937, this has to be one of the early four-wheeled Morgans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It has the Coventry Climax overhead inlet and side exhaust valve engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An unusual\nbody on a 1920 Trafford Park, Manchester, made Model T Ford. It labels itself a\n\u201cCentredoor Top Hat \u201c saloon but while seating five, it was felt to be unstable\nand there was no safety glass at that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This Chevrolet Roadster is interesting because it dates from 1928 and is therefore one of the last Chevrolet four-cylinder models \u2013 it has an o.h.v. Mason-designed motor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For 1929 Chevrolet introduced its superb 6-cylinder o.h.v. unit, nicknamed both the \u201cCast Iron Wonder\u201d and \u201cStovebolt Six\u201d which went on to power every Chevrolet car and light truck until 1954!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
