It’s PH25 week everyone. This Saturday, thousands of cars will descend upon Bicester Heritage to mark 25 years of PistonHeads and, frankly, we can’t wait to take a stroll through the car parks to see what you’ve brought along. However, this isn’t just a Sunday Service with a few more cars - it takes place on a Saturday for one thing - it's also our biggest event ever because we've bought along a few friends to ensure it all goes off with a spectacular bang.
Those who are regular viewers of our YouTube channel will likely be familiar with our Readers’ Cars series, and we’re expecting most of the gang to be at PH25 with their marvellous creations. We’ll have Paul (or Hoonigan in the forums) there in his Southern GT40, Scott (scottos) and his glorious BMW 2002 Tii, the track-focused Volkswagen Lupo GTI belonging to Clayton Jones (claytonjones) and many more.
Speaking of builds, we’ve got a number of specialists who’ll be showing off their latest projects. MST Cars are on the list with their new Metro 6R4 recreation, while Alfaholics will be bringing some Italian flair with their GTA-R and Super-R. Meanwhile, Le Mans Coupes and Radical will have track day enthusiasts covered, and if you’re more into the modding scene there’s always VW tuning wizards Revo and wide body masters Liberty Walk. Finally, Caterham will be there with the new Project V electric sports car hot on the heels of its world debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. And when the urge to drive something inevitably hits, you can head to Motorsport UK to have a go on its driving simulators (and prove to your friends you’re as fast as you say you are).
Moreover, as you probably know, we’ve been hunting down the best cars of the last 25 years across five different categories of performance cars: sports cars, hot hatches, saloons, track cars and supercars. Each class will be represented by its own display zone, with over 200 display cars set to fill Bicester Heritage to the brim. And if you head over to our outdoor cinema, you can watch the premiere of our PH25 series finale, where we’ll crown the best car of the last 25 years.
You’ll also be able to see the final episode in our PH Project Car series. Make sure you swing by the eBay stand, too, as not only can you get up close and personal with our now-maxed-out Mk5 VW Golf GTI, but you’ll have the chance to enter our competition to win it, too. You can find the PistonHeads stand right next door, which is the place to go if you want to bag some merchandise. We’ll even have some of our auction cars on display, and there’ll be someone on hand from our consignment team if you want to sell your car through the brand-new PH Auctions service.
Be sure to pick up a free guide when you arrive, showing you where all the exhibitor stands are and a timetable for the outdoor cinema. And if you haven’t got a ticket yet, you can grab one by hitting the link here. Better be quick, though, as tickets are selling fast and only a few hundred remain. You only get to celebrate your 25th once, so you’re not going to want to miss this!
