Minx at the Hillclimb

We had a small hill climb in Boston yeasterday. The Minx is finally running well. I still need a pair of Rapier carbs.... but otherwise it was running well.

First thing in the morning I had to tow a Morgan three wheeler to the top. Since it doesn't have a starter typically we push it down the hill exiting the estate through the back entrance (roll starts) and then by the time it makes it to the bottom it is warm. Then it scoots to the front of the line at the start without killing the engine.

In the first cluster of event photos... if you see modern GTP cars with flames coming out the exhaust you've scrolled down too far. (oh yes, the Minx has flames coming out it's exhaust too)
