Oxfordshire Classic Vehicle Show - Blenheim Palace 26/7 Aug

Postby TrevorB » Thu 19.07.2012, 20:59

We have daughter who lives in the village of Bladon which is next to Blenheim Palace the other side of Woodstock. Have got entry into this show on 26th/27th August as accommodation is cheap :D plus it gives us a chance to visit.
Are there any members in the Oxford area who have done this show or even going?
The location certainly is good hope the weather improves.
Trevor

Other side of Oxford from me, but not far.

Never been before but I might have a look this year.

Nice place for a show.

Yes as a participant through the classicshows website which you have highlighted in your excellent piece giving details. I entered in
the convertible sports car section and have been allocated a spot in section 'G'.

Just had a good weekend at this show. The M100 has held it's own again and I came away today with Runner-up prize in the Sports and Convertible category. Beaten by a MG Spider! :cheers:
