Double take? Geoff May’s 1934 supercharged road/race Wolseley Hornet Special and his 3/4 scale copy. Both cars will be climbing the hill on Saturday!
As of this morning, we have eight Wolseley Hornets entered for Pre-War Prescott. Or nine if you include Geoff’s 3/4 scale copy! This miniature masterpiece is powered by a 200 cc single cylinder motorcycle engine. The Wolseley Hornet Special Club will also be bringing their marquee. The club is one of many who will be holding their own gatherings at Pre-War Prescott, which provides an ‘umbrella’ for such clubs to gather and climb the hill. These clubs are, by themselves, too small to hire Prescott alone, but at Pre-War Prescott, they can hold their own ‘gathering within a gathering’, parking together in a pre-allocated area of the Paddock for the day. These clubs and their members enjoy the full range of activities and displays, have the opportunity to climb the hill and are free from all of the organizational and administrative burden involved in mounting the such an event. All their members have to do is enter, and we do the rest!
Other clubs joining us this year include the MG Car Club MMM Register, the MG D Group, the Talbot Owners Club, the Herefordshire Austin Seven Club, the Bristol Austin Seven Club, the Historic BMW Club, the Morris Specials Group, the Octagon Car Club, the Riley Register, the Alvis Register and the Alvis Owners Club. And of course the Vintage Minor Register!
