La Vie en Bleu Saturday 24th & Sunday 25th May 2014
The annual French invasion of ‘La Vie en Bleu’ makes a welcome return to Prescott Hill Climb on Saturday 24th and Sunday
25th May 2014. This year saw many of its regular competitors plus some wonderful surprises including Amilcars, fresh from their UK rally, Voisins including the hill climber and Gerin, and a regular London to Brighton entrant - a Panhard Levassor with a 4 cylinder engine and tonneau body and "Spirit of Joyce", a lovely 1904 De Dion Bouton.
If those cars have whetted your appetite – here comes the ‘Cours Principal’
Entertainment, was distinctly French themed with the beautiful and talented can-can dancers, live music, a Parisienne 1920’s Renault bus, brave stilt walkers, an accordion player – reminiscent of Monsieur Alfonse played by Kenneth Connor in the 1980’s television show ‘Allo Allo’;
Other treats in store included – De Dion tricycles, Les Grands Routiers “Delage & Hotchkiss” and a plethora of rare and eclectic cars, and of course Bugattis.
