REVS is delighted to partner with StarterMotor for its fourth annual Pilgrim Tour this October, which provides car enthusiasts the chance to drive some stunning ancient routes in Wales. This new collaboration will allow two specially nominated automotive enthusiasts to pilot a car from StarterMotor’s Drive-It Fleet, for the duration of the tour, as part of an all-expenses classic motoring adventure.
Dedicated to putting the next generation in the driving seat, StarterMotor works to immerse a younger audience in the vibrant community of historic car enthusiasts by involving them in every aspect of classic motoring. Perfectly in step with REVS’ core values of hospitality, generosity, restoration and integrity, the partnership for the Pilgrim Tour 2024 will see two worthy winners enjoy a heritage vehicle for a timeless drive through the splendour of South Wales this autumn.
With nominations open until 23rd Aug, REVS is asking the wider motoring community to nominate those who would benefit most from such an opportunity. The criteria are simple: people who have faced struggles in their life affecting their wellbeing, and who have never had the opportunity to take part in a vehicle tour.
Joining the drive two experienced StarterMotor Ambassadors, Morgan and James, will also be helping where needed. Morgan said, “I’m really looking forward to joining the REVS Pilgrim Tour in a StarterMotor car, as well as giving technical support to the worthy winners who will be driving the other charity car.”
Proposers can submit names by email to [email protected], with a quick explanation of why joining the Pilgrim Tour would be beneficial to their nomination. The final selection will be made by REVS trustees in early September, so nominations must close by 23rd August.
The two selected guests will be invited to Bicester Heritage on 11th October to collect their classic steed for the weekend, with the opportunity of a tour of the historic site, before a familiarisation briefing and the chance to enjoy some laps around the well-known Bicester Heritage track with the StarterMotor team. Once complete, a convoy of cars and drivers will depart for Carmarthen, South Wales as the adventure gets underway.
The REVS Pilgrim Tour is about restoration, be it people or community, and reflects the true nature of a pilgrimage. Allowing people the chance to take a journey with a purpose, and to reflect on the important things in life, the weekend takes time from busy schedules and daily demands for better wellbeing. The Pilgrim Tour is open to people of faith, no faith and everything in between.
From inception, the REVS Pilgrim Tour has owed its success to the generosity of partners, and this year HERO-ERA joins StarterMotor in helping provide an all-expenses weekend for the two nominees. The world’s foremost global historic motoring events company, HERO-ERA hosts spectacular historic rallies across the globe including Peking to Paris and London to Lisbon. Its Rally for the Ages is an award-winning endeavor, dedicated to encouraging younger enthusiasts into grassroots historic rallying.
StarterMotor is dedicated to nurturing passion, along with developing the necessary skills in young enthusiasts. This is more than a mission; it’s a promise to bridge generations and REVS is delighted to be able to support these aims during the Pilgrim Tour.

This MG Midget auction result turned into one of those wonderfully busy little sales where bids seem to come from everywhere at once. We opened the reel with a simple question: Who likes a Midget? Quite a few people, as it turned out. This 1971 MG Midget MkIII went under the hammer at Anglia Car […]
This Fiat Panda auction result looked, for a moment, as though it might turn into a proper little battle. And you could understand why. This 1994 Fiat Panda Selecta CLX was clean, remarkably low mileage and described by Anglia Car Auctions as one of only four of its type in the UK. Then two bidders […]
Some old cars arrive at auction looking battered because they have spent decades slowly deteriorating. This one is rather different. VVR 677L is a 1972 Austin 1800, better known to generations of enthusiasts as the “Landcrab”. Its last recorded MOT was in 2018. But that doesn’t necessarily mean it disappeared from the road eight years […]
