Bicester Scramble

A small group of Fellows joined 10,000 other motoring enthusiasts for a wonderful day at the recent Bicester Heritage Scramble. The day was sold out many months ago and The Fellowship was fortunate to secure tickets for this sought after event.

Founded in 2013, Bicester Heritage is creating a revolution in historic vehicle ownership and from a standing start is now home to over 45 specialist businesses. Bicester’s vision is to ensure the accessibility of heritage motoring through a specialist community and creating an international centre of excellence for automobiles, past, present, and future.

The day was exceptionally well organised considering the number of people present and was spent viewing the magnificent collection of splendid historic and modern cars as well as a few restoration projects. It really was a petrol heads’ dream. In addition to the vehicles on display there was an opportunity to visit several the fascinating specialist workshops and talk with those involved.

Peter Lewis-Jones, The Fellowship President summed the day up well.

“Having spent the last 55 years in the motor industry since starting my apprenticeship, I didn’t know what to expect from a visit to Bicester Heritage. Although I had obviously heard about it, I was simply ‘blown-away’ by the scale of Bicester Heritage which surpassed anything similar that I have experienced before. It is a visit that I would most definitley recommend to all Fellows and their families”.

For those of you that missed the opportunity it is The Fellowship hopes to repeat the visit next year.
