“Classic

+Worcestershire hills.” Sir Stirling Moss
A
weekend of 1950's and 1960's Classic Nostalgia awaits you at the
Midland Automobile Club's Shelsley Walsh Hill Climb supported by Classic
and Sports Car and Peter James Insurance and Stewart Miller Insurance.
This
annual event attracts a very wide range of competing cars from the
1950s and 60s, and spectacular vehicle displays in both the paddock and
orchard. Visitors are encouraged to wear period dress, with prizes
awarded on the Sunday for the best vintage outfits.
The
courtyard stage will host entertainment throughout the weekend,
including ‘living history’ actors, vintage-inspired musicians, dancers
and a ukulele band. The paddock and orchard will be packed with
competition cars, trade stands, car clubs, and even a classic car
trial. Thrilling the crowds this year, will be an aerobatic display (weather permitting – Sunday only).
Sunday
will feature the annual Street Concours for cars built before 1982, the
Concours is once again kindly sponsored by Classic & Sports Car
magazine and is open to the first 100 entries through the gate before 12
noon. It will be judged by motoring journalist and regular Shelsley
Walsh competitor, Simon Taylor. There is no charge to enter the Concours
but cars must be driven through the entry gate, no trailers please!
Simon
Taylor said, "We have been running the Concours competition for many
years and it has become an integral part of the Classic Nostalgia event.
15 of the Concourse cars that we judge and select will have the rare
opportunity to take part in a cavalcade up the famous Hill Climb
course”.
The
overall winner of the Concours will receive a silver salver and be
invited to display the vehicle on the Club's stand at the NEC Classic
Car Show in November. Other prizes include a 12-month subscription to
"Classic & Sports Car" magazine.
Classic
Nostalgia also welcomes the return of Peter James Insurance and Stewart
Miller Insurance and their guest of honour Sir Stirling Moss OBE on the
Sunday. Aside from regular autograph sessions, Sir Stirling will take

It was first used in 1905 and still uses its original layout, although there are a few close rivals.Our first speed event was held in 1901 on the edge of the rolling hills of the Cotswolds at Sun Rising Hill.The club has always been innovative. In 1932, the BBC chose Shelsley Walsh for its first ever outside broadcast. Electronic timing was first introduced at Shelsley and in 1998 the club organised the first ever classic trial on the Isle of ManThe MAC hosts rounds of the British Hill Climb Championship, The Midland Championship and The Leaders Championship, with classes for a variety of cars from road going to full on specialist hill climb cars.
