Hagerty Renaissance – Bicester Heritage 2018

Owners of cars covered by the historic tax class were invited to bring their cars to display to an adoring crowd of ‘petrol-heads’. They even organised the weather, something that many event organisors in the U.K. wished that they were able to do 🙂 There was also a big screen on which to watch the various events at Goodwood Revival. Personally I was too busy photographing the exotic machinery at Bicester Heritage.

Thanks to an invitation from my friend David Scothorn, a fellow supporter of the Warwickshire County Record Office’s Healey Motor Company archive project, I was a member of that adoring crowd. I was delighted by the fact that so many visitors had taken the opportunity to dress in period costume. I was also struck by the friendliness and helpfulness of the many volunteers who helped organise the event.

I hope that this will be the first of many similar events. Bicester  Heritage is all about classic cars so it was inevitable that I was able to take photos of cars which weren’t necessarily part of the Renaissance event. I have labeled them accordingly. Here are some of the photos that I took –

A Miscellany of pre 1939 Rileys –

A Trio of Berkley four wheel (they made three wheelers as well!) sports cars

A Brace of Austin Healey 3000 Mk IIIs

The Jensen Boys

C-V8 Mk. III

Around Bicester Heritage

There were more but that is enough for now. I hope that you enjoyed looking.
