I can't be sure that it never raced in a hill climb event, but it was built for something different.

Made in UK ?
Yes
I've only just realized that my response to this question was technically incorrect, as Jersey is a self-governing British Crown Dependency and not actually a part of the UK. Now I'm wondering how long it would have taken you guys to identify the country of origin had I answered, "No." ;D
