What a feast! Love Prescott, love hill climbs. Love the cars he shows us. And also those in the background. Plus a preview of great videos to come! So good to listen to Harry's expert car-enthusiast's and experienced commentary - on all things cars! And his calm demeanour at the starts, when the adrenalin is rushing - such great driving! Fantastic video as always. Many thanks.

[@mty1957]

Harry is a cool dude - the real professional in car journalism, he knows his stuff, and he knows people!

[@Jason-cl8hk]

John, I think you said it for us all. Another great video. Thanks.

[@brianevans4618]

Great video, the best. But initially surprised not to see drivers with helmet or race suit. In my day, you also needed a 'Speed' licence for hill climbs and sprint. Or better still, a 'Race' licence. Probably something different now. There was a Driver's Briefing, but was there scrutineering! What a great day out. Many thanks Harry for the great content.

[@harrysgarage]

Brian Evans this was a private event, hence why there was no official timing going on and no requirement to wear a helmet or safety gear. In fact, I had to remove my helmet on my first run after the Clark of the course instructed me to, as it might encourage me to drive in an unsafe manner!

[@oliverbyrne3209]

I think this channel appeals to guys of a certain age. Even though he's got 15 years on me he still speaks for my generation of car enthusiasts. This man should be a presenter of a prime-time motoring show. I follow all of the usual channels but Harry is unquestionably the voice of a generation of 70s and 80s babies. He's the thinking man's Jeremy

[@stokesy887]

Oliver Byrne I would be inclined to agree, but might I add that I’ve only just turned 18, and I’m sure I’m not the only young fella to watch his stuff.

Me too. I love the way its just factual, no showmanship or clever photography. Harry is the chap you'd really want an opinion from if you bought something a bit special

[@jonaus6171]

Wow - that's a blast from my past! 50+ years ago we were regulars at Prescott, half a dozen Jaguar Enginners relaxing in the sun working how to make our and other people's cars get up the hill faster - or in the case of the Light Weight E Types, get them to stop.! Great video :-)

[@Silver3ides]

Such a peaceful perfect place is Prescott , The Bluebells up the track walk in spring are amazing .

You're so brave Harry and so composed and relaxed - talking to the camera while flooring it up the hill. So well done.

Yep, the Retropower channel has all those builds, its Great content. Anyone who is invited by Gordon Murray to build a road going Escort has got a lot to live up to. It would be ace to see Harry review a few of them :)

[@amremotewatching]

Loved watching Harry get all excited at his sub 50s time, he's like a big kid. Maybe its because I do the same too !! Some amazing machinery just parked up. I've been up the Prescott hill a few times, but never seen a selection quite as spectacular as in this video. Really enjoyed watching this one.

[@knightsofn1]

Oh My God, an XJR-15. I can't explain how much I need one of those in my life.

[@ozeskiman]

So much enthusiasm..i was right there in the passenger seat with Harry up the hill. "I'll have that." 👍

[@Zadster]

I love the way that Harry makes the viewer feel like a personal guest at these rather exclusive events. Always good to see expensive metal doing what it was built (and notionally bought) for. Needed more Invacar action going up the hill though! ;) The green chassis paint on the Lotus would probably be zinc chromate, usually used in WWII(etc) aircraft as an anti-corrosion primer. Nasty stuff to use.

[@ianjoyce5120]

It would have been good to see TWC at this event...

I'm happy for you! As an "older" guy who loves cars and racing, seeing you do this climb excites me. That Project 8 is amazing as well.

[@roadie3124]

Thank you for this, Harry. Prescott Hill Climb is one of my happiest memories from when I was at boarding school in Cheltenham in the 1960s. It was less than 10 miles away and was an easy bike ride at weekends. The guy across the lane from my boarding house had two (yes, two) Bugatti Type 35s and he used to tune them up early on Saturday mornings. Beautiful sound. That's why, when I was dragged off to watch the Isadora Duncan movie and she was strangled when her scarf caught in the wheels of a Bugatti-looking car, my sympathies were with the car.

[@johnnyonenote376]

Really enjoyed that, many thanks Harry. I have to say I had similar feelings about that Jensen Interceptor in the 1970s. used to see a couple around my area - gorgeous car.

Hillclimbing- The best day out-Always friendly events,lovely countryside, unusual vehicles,ingenuity of some of the home made/ modified vehicles at championship events-proper grass roots( when lesser vehicle are taking to the hill.

[@wmasasabi]

Such a breath of fresh air when a proper petrolhead reviews cars. Could have spent the entire time ogling about super cars but just gravitates to anything with an engine in it and breaks down why it deserves to be on any car lovers radar. Brilliant!

[@kevinbirch6460]

This was posted on the Jensen club site, and after taking my Interceptor up Shelsey Walsh a few days ago for the very first time, makes me really appreciate this video. These hill climbs are hard, very steep and you can not see where you are going, Harry keeps pointin g this out, but the videos don't show what it feels like actually doing it. You are in your pride and joy, ragging it to the best of your ability knowing you will have to drive it home again. You don't want it going home on a trailer. The bottom line is these people are using these priceless cars, and my respect goes out to them for doing so. I hate seeing them in garages just being polished. My highlight is the 250SWB, probably the most beautiful car ever made. Thanks Harry, will keep watching your space, as it is just so well presented.

Great to see onboard at Prescott. I used to visit there years ago when I lived in Bishops Cleeve nearby. I will never forget watching a middle aged man weep next to his heavily damaged 308 GTB after hitting the barriers halfway up on the section that used to be under the trees.
