It’s one of the most popular events in the classic calendar, and the 2015 Banbury Run is now just a little more than a week away. It all takes place at the Heritage Motor Centre in Gaydon on Sunday, June 21, with the traditional Bonhams auction held the day before.
As one of the event’s supporters, we caught up with organisers to get all the details…
