For this episode we were at the Aston Hill 100 event held on the 17 May 2025.

It was to celebrate the hill’s rich motorsport heritage and share the history of events that took place between 1904 and 1925, the location for many the nation’s biggest Hillclimb events.

The recording was done over several days, starting on the day AML shot their film with Valkyrie alongside a 1924 side valve. Then a preview the night before, and of course on the day itself. 

Steve Waddingham managed to bag some great interviews with owners and visitors, including Michelle McDermott, Etienne, Chiltern Aston, Pat with a very special Virage, Yuki all the way from Japan, grandson of Robert Bamford and more.
