- Pre-war racing and vintage road cars at VSCC Loton Park hillclimb are recalled in this video. The VSCC (Vintage Sports Car Club) stages hillclimbs at various venues throughout the year, and Loton Park in Shropshire has regularly hosted pre-war VSCC-era cars for some years now. As my son (13) and I both like pre-war cars, and pre-war racing and sportscars in particular, we always try and pop over to Loton Park when there's a VSCC meeting taking place.
Competing cars that feature here include ERA, Bugatti Type 51, many Austin 7 and Riley -based specials, several Bentleys, and a wonderful assortment of one-off specials such as "Maggot", "Wasp", "Grannie" and the Singer-based "Bantam", to name just a few. Don't miss the footage of the ERA being warmed up and also out on the course.
Of course in addition to all the VSCC racing cars in attendance there are plenty of road-going vintage cars to ogle over, and many have made it into this hill climb video. The Ansaldo tourer in particular was a rare sighting.
Hopefully this vintage cars video will appeal to road- and race-car fans alike. This doesn't attempt to record every pre-war car and every run that took place at VSCC Loton Park 2021 hillclimb, rather to capture the atmosphere of the event as a whole, from a spectator's point of view. If your car is featured somewhere, please say hello in the comments.

I love the engines in these cars even when they are running well they go Pop Fart Bang Pop Fart Bang…Awesome.
Love the pre war era racing/ sports cars.
Agreed they're a lot of fun to watch (and smell!)
Loved watching these beautiful machines. Thank you so much for sharing your day and for the excellent video footage.
I don't know much about these kinds of cars but I love all automobiles. Lovely piece of filming
Thank you. I enjoyed that so much. I’m into my fifth year of retirement in Bangkok, Thailand. I like it here very much but I do miss the sights and sounds of those vintage vehicle meets. Thanks again for allowing them into my living room here.
These are toys for grownups. If I'd seen some of those tiny ones when I was 8, i would have gone nuts . I had a smile on my face thru the whole video . Thanks for showing .
Well done. A fabulous piece of filming. High quality images with minimal voice over. A real pleasure to watch. Thanks.
Thanks for the feedback! glad you liked it
Fantastic to see that most drivers are pushing the vehicles. That's what they were made for!
Great video, I watched it late at night, and I swear I could smell the Castrol R.
It is so nice to see what appeared to be ERA R1A (the first ERA) back out again!
Your best vidio yet, well done, Bryan , N Ireland,
Thanks Bryan! Don't miss the hillclimb uploads for the '22 meetings also
What a great variety of machines. No. 160 looked like it had been stripped of anything that wasn't needed for racing. Thanks for sharing.
Yes if it doesn't make a car safer, it comes off
@@oldclassiccarUK some of those old cars really turn some rpm and get moving pretty darn quick, had to be unbelievable back then.
It's nice to see old car's reach their final form of modifications.
22:23 Wééééééééééééééééééé (the supercharger's sound) is very cool ^^
Your videos remind me why I love vintage Race Cars!! Very well done!!!.. I had 4 Spridgets and multiple VW'S back in the 70's and 80's. Lime Rock is a 45 minute drive...
Thanks for watching, please keep an eye on the channel for similar uploads in the near future
Excellent pre-war content, thank you!
How lucky are those in the northern hemisphere to have these cars still running.
Wow 😁👌
Yep it's fun day out :)
Yes can see 😎👌
Brilliant video - SO enjoyable. Nothing like the sound of a well tuned straight six! But I also love those crazy cyclecars - GN's especially. Came across this by accident and have subscribed. Thanks for sharing - Teresa
Glad you liked it, thanks for sub'ing :-)
Thanks for posting very interesting some real contraptions!
Such beautifully burbling exhausts!
They are!
Excellent video
Thank-you!!
Great video! Thanks for doing this one. I also appreciate your comments on the car makes and models. Always fun to watch the old stuff in anger.
Thanks Tom, hope to be able to make similar vids this year when things start happening again
Very cool!
WOW, what a great day out that must have been. Fantastic video - obviously ! Thanks :-)
Yeah it was a lot of fun, nice and laid back, plenty of interesting machinery etc
Loved the way you were pointing things out with a sausage.
Could have been worse!
That AC is lovely, later they did the wonderful AC 428.
the old guy bump starting his car down the hill 🤣
Some sweet iron 😎 looks like a great event
Tem que ter coragem pra correr com essas máquinas!!!
These are many fantastic and beautiful cars, but the one I got hooked on,
is the 2-cylinder old slugger with external cam chains and many races behind it.
enjoyed your video very much thanks
Thanks for checking it out Guy
This is truly glorious. Want to drive or own a few ASAP.
Always fun watching the proper vintage cars taking part in these events, thanks for watching
I had much fun
Excellent video well done magic
Thanks Alan
❤️
Super cool video!! I have been assembling a machine shop to support my CZcams channel that I will be starting with the build of a 1928 Morgan RIP GN special 3 wheeler with 4 wheels. I am using an experimental aircraft opposed twin supercharged engine. This will be mated to an MG 4 speed manual gearbox with a 2 piece hand cast aluminum adapter. This will be connected to an MG differential with beautiful wire wheels. The frame I stood over steel and will have aircraft cloth stretched over and sprayed with plasticizer. This will have a boat tail look and is essentially a 20's airplane without a propeller or wings. There is only one other in existence and Charlie Martin races it in the UK. The next project lined up is the building of a Brooklands style cycle car similar to the Pembleton. This will have a BMW R-100 engine in the front and four wheels with gorgeous leather interior and even space for luggage. I look forward to seeing everyone over at the channel when it gets warm out enough to be in the barn in Pennsylvania .....
Ok, thanks but no more blatant promo please
Great vid and event
Thanks John, more vids like this coming soon
Wonderful video!
Thanks :-)
ERA 7165 is a beast. I'll bet it has won at Goodwood. 31:51
Green wheelie had me
Nice --
15:42 Fantastic ^^ you easly see the intake / exhaust system ultra modern technology for the 30s (Crossflow)
Grazie Mille. Ben Fatta.
Love the Model A Ford single seater at 8:20.
That was nearly an hour of pure pleasure to watch! Thank you. There were some really beautiful cars out there, and the sound of some of them was music to my ears! When is the 2022 meeting taking place? Assuming this is an annual meeting. I would love to go and spectate this year before I get too decrepit lol
Coming up soon - 10th/11th September! Thanks for watching
A great video, Rick.
My first magazine subscription, when I was about 15, was to 'Veteran & Vintage' but I've never been to a VSCC meeting.
I really enjoyed the video - thanks!
Mike
Thanks for watching it Mike 😀
What is the verical blade attached to the front of the cars?
Hi, it's positioned right at the front of a competing car, and trips the light at the start of a run, and at the end, to record the overall time for that car's run. Thanks for watching.
I would like to know where y’all find some of these beautiful pieces of racing history bc i want ti find one and race it
I am now subscribed.
Awesome, thank you!
Hi I’m at Prescott right now testing something
Sounds good, had planned to head down to Prescott but other things got in the way :-/
Was it two Vincent Square four engines in the silver car called Caliban KN IV?
I respect the two V-twins in the incredible racing ghost also ...
Beautiful beasts all around.
Ariel made the square four
👍
Thanks for the video. I had to forgo my annual pilgrimage to Loton Park due to other comittments. 🙁
If you noticed the foundations of demolished buildings and brick plinths in the woods alongside the course, these were for the storage of incendiary ammunition and chemical weapons for the USAAF during WW2.
Hi Roy, I hadn't seen those but I'll look out for them next time, thanks for watching
That chain linked double twin might have an interesting problem because you need a way to sync up the engines like you do in a multi engine aircraft. In an aircraft it just causes vibration. On that car, if done for long enough it could snap the link chains due to drag stress off the slower engine and you wouldn't necessarily be able to hear the difference between the two - a difference of 200-300rpm enough to potentially cause a problem.
Yes they have to synch them correctly, not only firing wise but carburation etc
I am loving this video , im new to the "car" show thing , seeing these cars seem to all have a black shark tail in front on a shaft of some sort? what is it called and for?
The black piece of metal is used to break the timing beam at the start and end of a timed run, to establish the time taken
thanks , I am a antique motorcycle fan as well as a member AMCA . should have known thats what those parts were for, kinda obvious in the context of timing, hey thanks again.
6・22見て水平対向2気筒OHVエンジンで良いんじゃないかと思った。パブリカみたいな。ミッションも2CVみたいなのとか。
Why the narrow rear track on many vehicles? No differentials? (I enjoyed it!)
Yes I think that is the case
What's the black flag/blade type thing on the front of the cars for?
It triggers the timing beams at the start and end of a timed run up the hill, to calculate the time taken.
I would have loved to stood on the hill with a speed gun and clocked how fast they were going, then compared it to their overall time to see what their average speed was. I know, a bit of a technical nerd thing.
What is that little gem at 34:55 ? #163
If I find my programme I'll check for you
@@oldclassiccarUK Cheers, Thank you.
Car 163 is the GN/AC Rabelro, the Rabelro being I think the reverse of its creator's surname, Orlebar (from memory, may be wrong)
@14:25 is he calculating carbon tax ?
Hey, not a 4-door pickup to be seen anywhere...where is this bizaroland...😏
I didn't spend much time around the public car parks :-)
10:14 When the supercharger is larger than the engine, you now there's something wrong. Why not install a turbine engine? These things do exist for some reasons, don't they?
All the parts have to be correct for the period, thanks for watching
In reply to your other note, VSCC is just an abbreviation for the Vintage Sports Car Club
Nice car but bad filming......
My humblest apologies
@@oldclassiccarUK no problem. Regards from Romania !
