Great event and atmosphere as always. Would have loved a bit of seating maybe near the food. As a bonus, a mobile car valeting company would have been a great thing to have for those who'd come a long... See more

Enjoyed the day snd the cars

Enjoyed the day and the cars. Been to other events and it seemed as if it lacked a bit of atmosphere. As good as the talks are on stage.. keep the rntertainment going with other options.

A brilliant show

It was our first visit to the pistonheads annual service and it was a truly brilliant day. The atmosphere was great the displays and the amount of cars and the variety was really good. It was well organised and didn't feel as busy as it actually was. The food on offer was really nice some of the prices were a little high but that's to be expected at a show and I understand that and didn't affect the whole experience. Can't wait to go again next year and based on the experience we'll be going to others shows organised by pistonheads

Great site to wander round on a sunny afternoon.

Very close by for me and easy parking as I arrived on a motorcycle. Plenty of variety of cars from all ages and enough to fill a couple of hours wandering round. The Bicester Motion surroundings are much more interesting to walk round than a large site like Silverstone.

One for next year's diary

Overall experience from enquire to the show day has been really good, many thanks to Adam all his organisational efforts. Good atmosphere but could be even better with more trade stands and better signage to each zones.

A fantastic day out

A fantastic day out. Very well organised and set out at a great venue, that is convenient to me.
A brilliant selection of cars to see grouped in relevant categories and it turns out even the car park had some very nice cars, not surprisingly given the petrol head status of the average visitor.

Way too many Porsche & BMW cars and…

Way too many Porsche & BMW cars and too few British marques such as Triumph, TVR, MG, etc.

All the volunteers, guides, traffic folks were wonderful and cheery!

Glad the guides and traffic crew brought the cheer. The cars are down to who chooses to join us on the day, but a few more British classics in the mix would be very welcome.
