That's a great car
Whereabouts in Bodiam was the hill climb? Do you have a map of the course? I live quite close to Bodiam and until I saw this thread I didn't know this hillclimb ever existed. |

I lived in Hawkhurst until 1980 but never got to see the hill climb there. The car still lives now, I have owned it since 1996 and will be at Fourways Engineering on Saturday with the car for the open morning they are having. Just along the road from Maidstone in Borough Green. |

Castle Inn to New House Farm at Bodiam. Google Maps ... the Castle Inn. The start was near there, ran west and right to the farm buildings. If you zoom in on the map via the link below it will show the locations. Being a local to Bodiam you likely know them anyhow. Google maps link to it here: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Ne...87!4d0.5314149 A bit of info on Bodiam here: http://www.bygonebodiam.co.uk/BodiamHillClimb.html |

Interesting to see an entry list with George Polly entered in an Anglia. More known for his oval hotrod racing?

240z at bodium
Finally got what I have been looking for. John Rich's son sent me some photos of his father in the 240Z in the late 70s
Apologies I have yet again spelt Bodiam incorrectly and cant seem to be able to change it Last edited by ben240z; 24 Mar 2022 at 19:18. Reason: speeling error |

A couple of photos from Martin Davidson's (alias 'Harry Martin') album of him driving the ex-Gerry Marshall Newtune prepared and entered 970 Cooper S with downdraught carburation at Bodiam Hillclimb.
(Sadly Martin Davidson died in February but his 1960's Mini racing story will be published soon based on an interview he did last November for MiniWorld magazine). |
