There is snowballing interest in the free classic event being staged by C&SC, H&H Classic Auctions and Chateau Impney in Droitwich next month.
Centred around an H&H auction, the speed celebration will recall the glory days of Chateau Impney as a competition venue as it builds up to holding a hillclimb revival on the course in 2015.
Taking place on 4 December, the doors will open at 9am and the auction will kick off at 3pm, with the event finishing when the sale ends at approximately 7pm.
A full auction preview is to come, but among the 90-odd consignments is a Smith F2 single-seater (above, also known as the Mason Master Special) that ran at Chateau Impney twice in its 10-year period as a competition venue from 1957.
The appeal of this all-day event is that it is not just an auction and there will also be club, dealer and trade stands, including Paul Matty Sports Cars, Fisher Restorations, Tom Hardman, Hilton & Moss, Guy Broad, Andrew Tart Motor Engineering and plenty more.
One of the highlights, however, will be a display of competition cars, some of which ran at Chateau Impney in period. They include HWM-Jaguar (above), Jaguar XK120, Caesar Special, BRM P48, ERA, Morgans, Farley JAP, Frazer Nash, Lotus 15 Buick and Lotus Elite.
