Popular in England, hill climbs were the test of a car’s pulling ability and its speed and power. A driver with one or more passengers would start at the bottom of a hill and see how quickly they could race to the top. The Vauxhall shown here is almost completely original, the result of it being stored in a barn for many years. You can see that it retains its original body, made of aluminum and is in remarkable condition.
