The Vauxhall Victor Owners Club (which caters for the F, FB, and FC Victors and their variants) are delighted to announce that our National Rally in 2024 will be returning to Billing Aquadrome, Great Billing, Northampton on the weekend of 12th, 13th and 14th July 2024; where it all started back in May 1982.We will be joined by the Vauxhall Cresta Club as well as the Vauxhall Owners Club (1903-1957), who have both confirmed attendance, which will make it a great display of Vauxhalls from these past eras.
Importantly, we would like to invite all F, FB and FC model Victor owners and their cars to the event whether you are a member of the Vauxhall Victor Owners Club or not to make it a bigger and better event; we will be putting up a trophy for the ‘Best Visitor’ Victor on the Sunday for the best non-members Victor.
For those that are relatively new to Victor ownership, the first ever Vauxhall Victor Owners Club (F Victor Owners Club as it was then) National Rally was held at ‘Billing’ in May 1982, and the following year we opened the event up to all the other Vauxhall Clubs to become the ‘All Vauxhall Rally’ which developed and evolved over the years to become the VBOA National Rally. At its peak the show was potentially the largest one make show in Europe, with over 2,000 Vauxhalls / Opels in attendance.
This is what you need to know:
Pricing – Day entry
£5.00 per vehicle including occupants. Paid on the gate on arrival each day, no need to pre book

This can be booked by calling Billing Aquadrome direct on 01604 408181 or on line at www.billingaquadrome.com
Vauxhall Victor Owners Club members will receive a 10% discount on this price when using the discount code provided in the latest edition of our Club magazine, Centre Section, but only on the phone 01604 408181. Members discount is live and whilst you can book online, you will be unable to use the discount code to receive this discount.
Minimum 2 nights stay and the cost covers full weekend pass for one vehicle (plus caravan if appropriate) and there is a charge for an additional vehicle for the same camping party of £10.00 for the whole event. (i.e. if you are towing your Victor with your daily driver and staying in a tent, or towing your Victor with your Motorhome)
Normal arrival time for camping is 12:00hrs however Billing has confirmed that for our event access would be first thing in the morning. Similarly, normal departure time for Camping is 12:00hrs but again they have confirmed that for our event departure would be the end of the day.
CAMPING MUST BE BOOKED IN ADVANCE OF ARRIVAL; THIS CANNOT BE DONE ‘ON THE GATE’.
Auto Jumble
You can sell auto jumble within the event area on a casual basis, which I believe to mean being sold from the boot of your car, rather than a grand gazebo set up.
Facilities
All the usual facilities at the Aquadrome will be available including the “Venue”, open daily serving Breakfast, lunches, snacks and evening meals and desserts plus a range of teas and coffees.
The Quays Pub and Carvery and the Billing Fish Bar are just outside the site together with The Oriental Paradise Chinses restaurant, Greggs, All Seasons Café and The Shed Café are just a short walk from the site.
Use of the swimming pool is restricted to camping pass holders but sessions must be booked in advance of visit. The pool is not open to the public or day visitors.
Site Security
The gates at Billing are staffed 24/7.
The committee of the Vauxhall Victor Owners Club look forward to welcoming you in July back at the spiritual home of the Vauxhall Victor Owners Club National Rally!
