109 Entrants signed on at How Caple Court.
 
The Yard was a mass of pre war cars from early on Saturday waiting for Scrutineering to start.
 
Once competitors had signed on they were able to part take in the coffee and bacon sandwiches ahead of the eight hills on Saturday.
 
With the wind whistling up the longest  Hill No 8 Foxhalls many cars got very hot, in stark contrast the Marshals at the top of Foxhalls, Harriet Turley and Emily Owens were struggling to keep warm.

The rain later in the day turned Hill No 4 Chandos from a high scoring hill into a skating rink with some competitors not getting past the No 1 peg.
 
Heavy rain on Saturday night made conditions on Sunday very tricky first thing with Competitors struggling to get into double figures on Hill No 12 Frith Wood, as the day went on the hill dried out with Keith Hill in his 1930 Singer the first to get the maximum score of 25.
 
The muddy competitors returned to How Caple Court for the scores to be calculated.
