SUNDAY SCRAMBLE! great cars at Bicester Heritage April 2023

"SUNDAY SCRAMBLE!" at Bicester Heritage in Oxfordshire is the subject of this Old Classic Car video. Having attended the Scramble back in January, we were confident that there'd be a great turnout of classic cars at this very popular car event, held in April 2023. Less predictable though was the weather forecast yet, somehow, the anticipated rain stayed away and a very enjoyable (dry) day was had.
Bicester Heritage is situated at the former RAF Bicester airfield. Given that this particular Sunday Scramble! was also St. George's Day, and my grandfather of the same name was based here in the late 1930s/early 1940s, it seemed highly appropriate to re-unite his original WW2 RAF dog tags (id tags) with the airfield, if only for a few hours, and record the moment.
Some amazing cars turned up, both in the central display areas in and around the preserved wartime buildings, and also outside in the public forward parking areas, reserved for any interesting old cars that arrived throughout the day. Vintage cars, classic cars, and modern supercars rubbed wheelnuts across the Bicester site, although this being a classic car channel I focus mainly on the older cars in this Bicester Sunday Scramble video.
I'll include a link to the video I uploaded of January's meeting at the end of this one, together they give a broad overview of what you might typically find at a Sunday Scramble in future.
Highlights include a BMW 2002 turbo, Mk2 Ford Zephyrs and a Raymond Mays-tweaked Zodiac, Matra Djet, Standard Vanguard Phase 1, a very unusual Opel Kadett, a variety of pre-war Rileys, vintage H.E. tourer, Aston DB4 in the public car park, the incredible Bedford mobile cinema, Austin 8 Tilly from WW2, several Bristols including a pair of 400s, a super-original Jaguar Mk2 in grey, a home-built Ford 100E pickup conversion, an immaculate Leyland Princess 2200HLS, a six-wheeled Hustler, a signwritten Morris LD van, and a vast, patina-blessed, Mercury station wagon of the 1950s, to pick out just a few.
So all in all, a great day out. Check out the Bicester Heritage site for future Sunday Scramble dates, entry is by advanced ticket only.

A few comments were posted about electric conversions, which is understandable, however I do plan to do a video all about the subject in future so that'd be the place to leave our thoughts on such matters I think. Thanks for watching!
