1957 XKSS bought for hill climbs. The Brits mean racing uphill on twisty roads, not cross country without a road.
"Hillclimb" in England means racing up a curvy road to the top of a hill; the road is paved the whole way. It's not like an American hillclimb, straight up the side
Thanks Archie!

a '59 Jag that he paid 900 for, but wants to make 200 mph with. He ran it at Maxton, and got 195, but will try again
At the '11 ECTA meet at Maxton, Kris ran 195 mph naturally aspirated, and 195 in AA/Fuel Super Street, he ended up winning HOT ROD jackets for earning the highest speeds in both the Real Street and Super Street classes, something that had never been done before.

Special hood ornament was a one year only option paying respect to some Prime Minister or something, relating to Wales. Yes, that is a terrible decription, but it's all I can recall about it

the San Diego British Car Club Council show at Liberty Station
British cars that were at the show, Alpine, Austin, Delorean, Jaguar, Rolls Royce, Land Rover, Berkley, MG, Morris, TVR, Cooper, Triumph, Rootes, Morgan and maybe a couple I can't think of... but the number of Britsh built cars is surprising... and if you wonder why the new Mini is at the British car show... when it is a BMW... and you'd think German, well, it's built in Oxford Britian. Has 20 some percent of it's parts from France too.
