Managed to have a look back through the Motorsport Archives and discovered that the VSCC held meetings at Thruxton from it's opening season in 1968 through to 1972 and once again for a final time in 1974.
I remember going to one of the Brooklands Trophy meetings in 1983. It featured an eclectic mix of races including a VSCC Handicap, a round of the Atlantic Computers Historic GT series and a round of the Marlboro British Formula Three championship. The Atlantic Computers race had a huge grid headed by John Foulston (McLaren M8F) and Mike Wheatley (BRM P154) while the Formula Three round saw the latest instalment of the season long Senna/Brundle battle.
