■ annual speed hill-climb and • , whilst officials busied them- ■ selves with the organisa- ■’:: ■


, tional details, drivers worked - on their cars and prepared r themselves for the day’s : ^ . t sport, ignoring the miserable'


; weather that had turnedthe • . unsurfaced road into a mess : ■ : ofmudandloosestones. ■r. The sensation of the day :: was a new model of sports ’ -'t • car, Joseph Higginson’s 30-98


- - Vauxball, the first of some:: ■ 600 examples to emergex:: . from the Luton factory dur- ■ .-


;',ing the following 14 years. - ; Higginson was a wealthy and ; experienced enthusiast and 'X this first 30-98 was built by


; Vauxhall and tailored to his :■ specific requirements in * - pffier to beat all opposition . - in the sprints and speed hill-i' : elimbs held at venues across ?.


. The country almost every : i ¥ , weekehS. Higginson and his


w beloved car trounced the •


- other cars takingpart, taking the gold medal presented for the fastest time ofthe day. x:) •. The Clitheroe Advertiser::


reported: “As Mr Higginson -. shot up the hill like a bul- ■ . • let, the spectators scattered


i right and left, for It was only: by supreme skill that the ' driver kept the tortuous - , . track as he sped up the hill at - a speed in places of over 60 -.: miles per hour. In doing so, " he took risks, though fortu­ nately on the gritty surface, . v the chances of skidding were i at a minimum.” , . This month saw some : ■


30 cars return to the exact : stretch ofroad used 100: ., • years previously and,'under a: police supervision, the at-?:, ; mosphere ofthe original day,


■ was recreated as closely as : possible, bearing in mind to-' day’s road conditions." .■ ■ ;; The cars, all Vauxhalls ,


and ranging between 85 and 90 years old, came to join the centenary celebrations from Sussex, Suffolk, the Cots-. : wolds and others from the Midlands, Derbyshire and ;: ,, the north of England. '


Vauxhall motors sent tvvff


• 30-98’s from their famous collection and assisted in the


: running ofthe event. Traffic was temporarily halted while the cars lined up for their as- ; cent ofthe hill. The original start and finish lines were ■ 'V located and the cars were h' .; flagged away by LAC presi- ’’ - dent Carolyn Taylor. ' ' ?


. ... Later in the afternoon, •— ; the cars enjoyed a scenic tour:


. around the Kibble VaUey, be- ;■ - fore returning to their base ■ at the Gibbon Bridge Hotel, ■ '
