Not enough? We have stunning Stanley Steamers, mad Model T Fords and Classy Cords. We've got 1950's California Chromed Cruisers, 1960's mean muscle Mustangs and a wheel-smokiin' Viper. Not forgetting those Incredible motorcycles, over 30 of them, fresh from their Italian rally. We want to encourage as many Amazing American Automobiles as possible to enter our "Show & Shine" section, with a magnum for "Best in show" each day - entry forms will be available shortly. Meanwhile the paddock will be rocking rockabilly band The Bravo Boys plus vocalist Michael Ian Brown performing a selection of American '50s jukebox classics by Elvis, Ritchie Valens, Bill Haley & His Comets, Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly, the Beach Boys, Johnny Cash and more. On Saturday we welcome the UK's original Black Elvis - 'not a gimmick but a stunning evocation of Elvis's roots'. Sunday sees the return of The Lady & The Sax an award-winning high energy duo. Back by popular demand, we have the oldest surviving Wall of Death The Demon Drome. The original 1920s motordrome where daredevil riders defy gravity and perform the craziest of feats with their Indian motorcycles - just inches from your eyes. Be amazed folks...be amazed!

Region: South West
Postcode:GL52 9RD
Organiser Information: Prescott is owned and run by the Bugatti Owners� Club (BOC) who purchased the estate in 1937 and commenced converting the muddy, rutted drive into a speed hill climb ready for the opening rally in April 1938, when the current Club President, Earl Howe, opened proceedings by driving his type 57 Bugatti up the Hill. Now, as we approach our 80th birthday, it is not necessary to own a Bugatti to become a member and we welcome the interest of all car enthusiasts. Currently we have a membership of circa 1,750, including over 500 members from overseas.
