 As OUMF does every year, at the beginning of January the students at the Oxford Universities Motorsport Foundation went on another adventure in Action Week 2026. The week started at the British Motor Museum for National Rally Day, on a quite cold albeit sunny Saturday. We were generously given the opportunity to show the 1966 ‘Inca’ Alfa
Romeo Sprint GT Veloce endurance rally car. When we arrived it was placed outside the main door, and quickly became one of the most-admired exhibits in the display of top rally cars in the bright sunshine that bathed the British Motor Museum - on one of the busiest Rally Days ever. It even got its portrait sketched and gifted to us by a talented young artist! The Head of Collections, Stephen Laing, granted the OUMF team free tickets to the main exhibition halls downstairs, and then David Stockbridge gave us a guided tour of the famous road and race cars in the Jaguar Heritage Collection which is housed in a large adjacent building on the same site. We were treated to a beautiful and exotic mix of Jaguars and Daimlers, plus many weird and wonderful BMC prototypes which never saw production.
