A great day out again in the very interesting setting of Bicester Heritage. There was the usual good variety of cars taking on the challenging courses. I'm afraid I didn't get pictures of everyone, or any videos to speak of, but here is a variety anyway. Overall winner was Charlie Martin with his 1931/35 Riley 9 – 12/4 Special, acheiving fastest time on 6 of the 10 tests, and incurring no penalties. Class winners were... Class 1 for Veteran & Edwardian Cars Chloe Walker – 1912 Hispano Suiza 15-45 King Alphonso XIII Tourer Class 2 for Standard Touring Cars Harry Hoskins – 1929 Morris Cowley 2 Seat Tourer Class 3 for Standard Sports Cars Edmund Burgess – 1923 Bugatti Type 13 Brescia Class 4 for Modified Cars Charlie Martin – 1931/35 Riley 9 – 12/4 Special Class 5 for Cyclecars and Oddities Tony Stephens – 1925 Trojan Utility Class 6 for Bicester College Max Ellison – 1930 Ford Model A Tudor Saloon There were lots of sevens both taking part and spectating. Sevens were entered in classes 2 and 4. Class 2 for Standard Touring cars had 3 Sevens competing, with Fabienne Muschamp the highest placed with her 1928 AD Tourer... David Marsh – 1925 AC Tourer... and Hugh McGarel-Groves – 1928 AD Tourer Class 4 for modified cars, had 17 Sevens competing, and occupying 12 of the top 15 places in the results. It was very close for the honour of high placed Seven, with Richard Marsh pipping Jon Flemming by only 0.3 points to claim 2nd in class with his 1930 'Ulster' Replica, earning a 2nd Class Award.
