Gallery: 76MM Bolster Cup – sideways and smoke

18th March 2018
Adam Wilkins

Some of the most incredible creations are made in the most humble surroundings... and so it is for the garage-built racers that featured in the Bolster Cup.

The race celebrates modified vintage cars and racing specials built both pre- and post-war. That means the grid was open to everything from tiny three-wheeled Morgans to much larger cars using Bentley chassis – and almost anything in between. It's fertile ground for innovation, all with the aim of going faster than the next competitor.

The Bolster Cup is named after the Bolster brothers who typified the ingenious enthusiast engineers who pioneered such cars. Their extraordinary 'Bloody Mary', with its two V-twin engines, was a testament to the mechanical creativity that prevailed, and a walk around the Bolster paddock sees that spirit alive and well.
