It's in Surrey, England, and the Hillclimb was actually a mile or so from
my home in West Horsley.
If you've seen a film called The Holiday, with the delectable Cameron
Diaz, Shere is where the UK scenes were shot.
It also has a jolly decent pub, called the William Bray, run by a mate of
mine, former F1 driver Julian Bailey, which is regularly visited by the
likes of Lewis Hamilton, Jenson Buttom, Eddie Jordan (on drums) et. al.
If you go to _www.sherehillclimb.co.uk_ (http://www.sherehillclimb.co.uk)
you can see shots of all the cars entered for the Hillclimb; everything
from Le Mans pre-war Bentleys through Frazer-Nash to some modern beasts.
My favourite of the lot was the Ken Rudd (of Ruddspeed fame) AC Ace.
Jules.
