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.
