Heritage that is 
.
This event had me being in two minds about going down to it. After all you can end up with seeing the same things which not much development at a number of shows. From going to the Scramble for the first time in 2015 I have to say that it didn't dissapoint. But how about this time? Would it still be the same?
Well, it was great to see such variety! Not just of the cars but the condition of stuff! Take these two German beasties. While the 944 was on 10 year old N-Rated tyres and polished to the hilt the M3 looked quite rough and ready in many areas. But it was a track car, and it was refreshing to see it with a real honesty and use behind it:
Yup, you had all sorts of stuff here. Just look at this lineup:
Some modifications had you in awe of the cars:
But some were a little questionable. But it's good to see the efforts;
One of the cars of the show for me was this Big Healey. Sure you see them at most shows but this looked to be well cared for but used. Sure it had blemishes but it just had that honesty about it :
Even from midday there wee queues everywhere!
Some people were obsessed with taking photos for hours against certain backdrops. b3nson can confirm this. But wouldn't you if you had recently acquired this:
There were also a number of shops with all sorts of memorabilia in them. Some containing a little more than others:
Just as you thought there was nothing around the corner, BAM, you were in for a surprise. One surprise was to see Banbury and Bicester college's efforts:
It's lovely to see this kind of stuff:
Speaking of different corners :
Speaking of yesterday being a Drive-It-Day this one looked like it had been driven alot:
A further walk around again and there was more:
Man, this car was lovely:
Worried that old stuff is a dying breed? This seemed not to be the case in one of the workshops:
Now this is another way to paint a cam cover:
For good or for bad when is the last time you saw a Tempra on the road? I certainly cannot remember:
Two iconic cars but what about the silver one?
Yup, its another kind of Alvis and a very pretty one!
As always there was plenty of pre-war stuff to revel in:
Some workshop openings teased you. Take this one:
OK, it's got a Lotus XI there. That looks nice enough
Wow, just wow. Now, if you had a workshop and these were the contents...
The other one was not too different. It did show something though. Not everyone at Bicester was there for pleasure. Some were hard at work with tight deadlines present. In this case the guy needed the car ready for testing at Silverston for today:
@h0twire will love this:
Seeing an AE86 and a GT86 in on place is not something you see everyday:
There is something else you don't see every day either.
Yup, that is a real Toyota 2000GT. It's one way to make an E-Type has less attention.
This 2000 did not disappoint in the flesh. Even up close it was gorgeous. Take the wood inside. There was a real depth and gloss about it:
Was this the car of the show for me? You bet. You almost wonder if this was the inspiration for Lexus' LFA. There are potential silimarities in the quest for building THE car.
Left or right?:
I hope you enjoy the snaps. If you fancy viewing more check this out :
