Kop Hill 2017


The Rotary Club of Princes Risborough again played a major role in organising and stewarding this years Kop Hill Climb .The fastest sofa in the world was one of a host of vehicles to storm the historic Kop Hill Climb in Princes Risborough on September 16th and 17th.

The ninth revival of the early 1900s motoring event returned on September 16 and 17 and featured former Wheeler Dealers star Edd China and his famous Casual Lofa Sofa.

There was a visit from the iconic Genevieve, the car that was the star of the 1953 film of the same name, alongside more than 400 historic cars and motorcycles which took on the famous hill each day.

This year's event also marked the 70th anniversary of Ferrari with a cavalcade of supercars ranging from the 50s to the present day. 

While a Spitfire flypast was cancelled on Saturday, Sunday saw a successful visit from a Hurricane. 

The weather was not kind this year but the fun and thrills helped to  raise £80,000   for charities on behalf of Heart of Bucks
