Bicester Super Scramble

[johnthesparky]

Went along to the new Super Scramble... it was a tenner to get in instead of six quid. I didn’t expect too much more but actually was pleasantly surprised.

They had a track set up and cars lapping (didn’t really feel with this tbh, but it is the first time they’ve attempted it)
There were some light aircraft, some biplanes which was interesting

And most of the classics were outside and more exotic stuff around the buildings, this was ok except that there tended to be pockets of similar cars, and once I’ve looked at one of anything the interest drops off a bit until I’ve seen something else

But enough critiquing, I suspect I’ve been spoiled by other events
Here are some photos

And a few more..

Nice photos, the red Aston Zagota for me when I win the lottery...

Wow, that’s a fair old selection. Great too, thanks for sharing

[stefan1971]

Brilliant pictures there mate,thanks for sharing them.

[pistonpopper]

Great pics, what the neck is going on with that Porsche 924/944? Any more photos of that?

[rainking]

Some lovely cars there (as always). Was disappointed that this clashed with the Summer Nationals at Santa Pod so we had to miss it...

Had to console myself with seeing some of the cars driving home on our way back home!

Not been up there since January... they keep putting events on that clash with other things...

Well worth a tenner I'd say. Especially cos I didn't have to pay at all due to this excellent pic thread

Actually I'd have loved to have gone. Due to Haymarket eating its own entrails this year, this is the closest Bicester will come to the Classic & Sportscar show. Mind you, there seem to be a lot of regulars there that are ever-present. And they were working on the blue Beetle in that workshop last year; all they seem to have done is take the numberplate light off since then


That turbo orange Bug is a masterpiece of packaging Overall, I think either the bronze Montreal or the gold Iso Grifo for me, thanks.

I'd take the red Ur-quattro... (if pressed) but in truth there are too many cars there that I would have on my driveway...

[HoTWire]

I went to my first Sunday Scramble and really enjoyed it. Thanks for putting up your photos

I think there is video footage of me saying my take away car would be the white P1800 with red interior... but actually it would be the Bizzarini (here is an unedited, uncropped picture)

They have been working on it a bit to be fair...







Couldn’t get much of a look at it, but some bits had been done (and it was in a different building )




The Iso Grifo was one of 3 rhd cars made

[Frankenhealey]

It would be the 'real' Healey for me

 

[luckyseven]

Yeah, the Grifo is a regular innit. I always admire the...ummm... promotional material that shows with it

[johnthesparky]

luckyseven yeah, I had Tom with me, so couldn’t dwell too long on the photos

I'll let you off this time has its only half a Jowett currently



Its with the Heritage Skills Academy and is going to be rebuilt by the apprentices & the Jowett Car Club

And just been and played a quick game of ‘where’s Jowett’ in my photos in case it’s lurking.... and there is a photo of my van, that Tom made me take, and I’ve inadvertently loaded up. Still the roof rack has patina (or rust) and there’s stuff on in (ok, it’s ladders and not a bike and euphonium) so it has scene points
