Kop Hill, Princes Risborough, is one of the oldest Hill Climb venues in England. In the period between 1910 and 1925 Kop Hill was one of several hill climbs in the Chilterns along with Aston Clinton. Kop Hill, where the first open hill climb was held, was a major event on the motor sports car and motorcycle calendar at that time.

Jamiroquai’s frontman Jay Kay brought along his 1955 Maserati sporting bodywork by Frua.
