Vintage and historic cars evoke enthusiasm and spark a passion; and since 1934 the Vintage Sports-Car Club has provided an arena for people to enjoy pre-war cars competitively and socially. Active in every aspect of motoring and motorsport for pre-war cars, the VSCC is one of the largest and best regarded motoring clubs in the world.
With such a diverse range of motoring disciplines on offer there is plenty of scope to become involved, whether as a car owner, marshal, competitor or enthusiast.
All are welcome to enjoy the VSCC and its many activities, but why not join this great movement and take advantage of 85 years of history and tradition?
Members enjoy discounted tickets to Club motorsport events, favourable rates with motoring service companies including auction houses, insurers, breakdown services and motor manufacturers.
Members receive a monthly Newsletter in both postal and online interactive formats and also receive our award winning quarterly Bulletin magazine.
At the Club’s HQ in Oxfordshire there is a wealth of motoring history, built around an extensive reference library of books and periodicals, photos and films is available to members.
What’s more, you don’t have to own a pre-war car to be a member. Enthusiasm for their use is all you need.
Whether concours touring cars or eccentric, unique ‘specials’ are your fascination, the VSCC upholds the tradition of this golden era of motoring for young and old at an affordable price.
See here some Events of the Vintage Sports-Car Club in upcoming future
Measham Rally, 13 Jan 2024 – 14 Jan 2024, Shirl Heath, Leominster:
One of the great challenges in vintage motoring, the Measham Rally returns to its traditional mid-winter slot as the first competitive event in a special anniversary year for the Vintage Sports-Car Club.
The demands of navigational rallying combine with the seasonal climatic conditions and winter-blackness to create a truly iconic and rewarding event.
A shorter route, with lower average speeds, is available and designed to be suitable for Light Cars, Edwardians and those with 2-wheel brakes. There is also a Champagne class, for those who want simpler route instructions, for which all pre-war cars are welcome, with no buff form required. We also welcome entries from cars built before 1962 in an Invitation Class.
Everybody needs to say they have done the Measham at least once and this is the perfect opportunity to tick that box.
New Year Driving Tests, 28 Jan 2024, Brooklands Museum:
The VSCC is thrilled to return once again to the birthplace of British motorsport and aviation, as Brooklands provides a most atmospheric backdrop for the VSCC New Year Driving Tests.
The opening event counting towards the 2023 Tony Jones Trophy, expect to see the VSCC’s regular AutoSOLO and Driving Test competitors out in force, along with local members and some new faces.
The New Year Driving Tests are always a great social occasion for competitors, spectators and marshals alike, so why not come along and join us at this most historic of venues.
