Classic cars converge on the cotswolds for Bugatti hill climb

Accountancy, investment management and tax group Smith & Williamson hosted guests at a two-day celebration of classic cars, music and entertainment in the Cotswolds.

The firm, which has an office in Cheltenham, sponsored the La Vie En Bleu Weekend, hosted by the Bugatti Owners' Club at the Prescott Speed Hill Climb venue.

The paddock was packed with iconic French and Italian classic cars and supercars for the event, including vintage and modern Bugattis, Ferraris, Maseratis, Lamborghinis and Alfa Romeos.

Aside from the impressive array of vehicles both on and off track, the weekend featured entertainment from Mark Halliday, star of the hit musical "Rat Pack Live From Las Vegas", Oyster Opera and the Vegas Showgirls.

Louise Somerset, partner and head of the Cheltenham office at Smith & Williamson, said: "We were delighted to support such an enjoyable and high profile local event, which forms part of our sponsorship of the Goodwood Revival Car Show, when around 4,500 vintage cars will be on show at the circuit in West Sussex in September."

Speed hill climbs have been taking place at the Prescott site, which is owned by the Bugatti Owners' Club, since 1938.
