Sir Stirling Stars at Shelsley

“Wonderful venue and fantastic people,” that was the comment from motor racing legend Sir Stirling Moss when he visited Shelsley Walsh Hill Climb, near Worcester, mid July. Sir Stirling was guest of honor at the Midland Automobile Club’s “Classic Nostalgia” weekend with Peter James and Stewart Miller Insurance, a vintage-themed meeting held at the world’s oldest motor sport venue, where people were invited to wear suitable dress to add to the period atmosphere.

Cars of all shapes and sizes from many decades competed against the clock up the iconic track while family entertainment including singers, bands, barbeques and dancing girls performed in the Courtyard. The parking lots were lined with cars from several clubs, including Morgan and MG, while thousands more cherished machines provided a wonderful display of their own, lined up in the public car parks.
