martynv 79 Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 I've just heard back from Duxford regarding the Spring Car Show and unfortunately there will be no show again this year despite some indications last year that the event would be revived. As an alternative I looked at various events last year and the best one I went to was the Bicester Heritage Sunday Scramble. It's quite a large event and the grassed areas around the Airfield were packed with cars as far as the eye could see of all makes and types. Most of the Heritage Workshops were open showcasing Car rebuilds and other specialist services around the Classic Car business. Even more Cars were parked around the Workshop buildings and many were quite special. Tickets must be bought in advance and are very cheap. There was no problem getting in or out of the venue last year. More details here: https://bicesterheritage.co.uk/whaton/january/ If there is enough interest I'll apply for a display area just for the Forum and you'll be able to buy tickets directly for our area. Please post your interest below and I'll review in a week or so whether to go ahead. Tickets are already on sale, so please reply ASAP Martyn. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Geoffers 55 Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 Count me in. Went last year in the Club Lotus display, not sure if they are doing it again this year. Excellent event, just so much interesting stuff to see. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The what's on page states pre-1990 vehicles. The pre-1990 I think only applies to individual entries and not to Clubs. Certainly last year The Lotus Drivers Club had late model Exige's and Evora's on display as did the local Club Lotus Stand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
