VSCC Winter Driving Tests (Members Only), Oxfordshire

Bicester Heritage, Buckingham Road, Bicester, Oxfordshire, OX26 5HA

Tests will be running from 9:30AM - 2:00PM

Afraid this one is 'Members only', and a valid VSCC membership card will be required to get in.
Usually a good number of Sevens amongst the machinery taking on a number of tests designed to challenge car and driver.
The resident specialist businesses are usually open too, showing their wares and workshops.

Sorry for the delay in posting this. 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.
