ENGINES are revving in anticipation of a weekend of motoring magnificence as the Kop Hill Climb returns to Bucks tomorrow.
Now one of the biggest events in the county, spectators will get to see cars zoom up the Kop Hill Climb.
The annual event was reintroduced in 2009 in Princes Risborough and has become very popular with more than 15,000 spectators.
Last year alone it raised more than £50,000 for charity and more than 400 historic cars and bikes took part.

Visitors can also visit Paddy’s replica of the iconic, winning red Mini Cooper, where it will be displayed at the SKIDZ motor charity stand. Paddy will also be signing autographs and his books on the Saturday.
A McLaren P1, the hybrid hyper car, will also ascend the famous Kop Hill.
