Bo’ness hillclimb

December 19, 2014

Bo’ness hillclimb in central Scotland held its first event in 42 years during August. Once a staple of the British championship the narrow course, which squeezes between stone buildings, opened in 1934, but a housing development finished it off in 1966. The revival event brought a fine spread of historic machines including David Leigh’s GN ‘Spider’ (above), which ran there pre-war. Malcolm Wishart made FTD in his Chevron B16 (left).

Here is a man who goes racing every weekend from March to October. Paul’s passion for the sport goes back to when he was a child of the 1960s. He has organised, competed in and marshalled on scores of events, and has written about the subject for 20 years. He is as at home in the paddock at Brands Hatch as in a Welsh forest or at Shelsley Walsh.
