“Cars in the Claydons’ is to be organised by The Claydon Estate in association with James Beckett and James Beckett Motorsport. Nicholas Verney, Claydon Estate: “All of us at Claydon are hugely excited about creating this new event, not least me as I have always been interested in classic and vintage cars and thought that my family home would be a superb location for a car event. When I met James and he told me that he had often thought the same it seemed like a really exciting opportunity to get together and turn some of our ideas into reality. I hope that everyone will enjoy the event we plan to put on and join us each year as it evolves into the festival we believe it has the potential to become.” James Beckett,
James Beckett Motorsport: “I am thrilled to be able to work with the Verney family in delivering a special event here at Claydon. ‘Cars in the Claydons’ has grown out of original idea by my son Freddie, and we hope will offer something for the whole family. We know that to be successful in this field, you have to work hard, but our desire is for the event to grow in stature and popularity. We are working on a five year plan to grow ‘Cars in the Claydons’ into one of Britain’s finest motoring and motorsport festivals. We are starting with a blank sheet of paper and many options are open to us as we move forward, and we are very fortunate in having such a superb location to organise this event!” Further details will be released early in 2016.
