Sporting Bears return to the BVAC Classic

Sporting Bears return to the BVAC Classic

Show visitors will once again be able to enjoy a memorable passenger ride, in a car of their dreams, while helping to support a good cause at this year’s BVAC Classic on Sunday 8th June!

This year we are hoping there will be about twenty cars for visitors to choose from to enjoy a ‘Dream Ride’. The ‘Sports car’ range is expected to include Porsche 911S, TVR 350, Jaguar XK V8 and Alfa Romeo 4C. The ‘Extreme cars’ (wild rides) is likely to include Arial Atom, Caterham Sport and Baja Buggy and the ‘Classics’ offering rides include Lancia Fulvia and Austin Healey 3000.
 
The Sporting Bears is a club run entirely by volunteers and has so far successfully raised over £3 million for children’s charities. This year, at the BVAC Classic, the Sporting Bears will be supporting the Riding for Disabled and Heart and Mind Clown Doctors.
The Sporting Bears will be offering visitors a chance to enjoy ‘Dream Rides’ in a fabulous variety of classic, sports and super cars. The rides will run throughout the day, departing from the Castle front, where – for a donation to these wonderful charities – you can book a thrilling 10-mile passenger ride in the exotic car of your choice (booking is strictly on the day).
 
Dream Rides are run under normal traffic laws and all the volunteer drivers have given their time, cars and fuel, so that 100% of your donation goes to charity.
Please note: The list of cars is provisional and there are occasionally drop outs on the day due to mechanical or personal issues.
