What Can I Expect
Drive English classic cars in the Midlands at a trio of venues in Warwickshire and North Oxfordshire! These experiences take a look back into motoring history, when the West Midlands was the centre of the British motoring industry.
At the risk of sounding somewhat old-fashioned, these cars represent the time when driving was carefree, fun and even a little bit hair-raising at times, especially as cars in the 60s started to get faster, but not necessarily safer (remember the days before seatbelts, anyone?).
This trio gives you a good cross-section from the boom years of British car manufacturing, with models to suit all budgets coming off the brand new production lines in purpose-built automotive factories.
The Vauxhall VX 4/90 (the ‘four-ninety'), initially produced as the Vauxhall Victor, was on every suburban street. Now very few remain on the roads and this HB version is particularly rare. For their time, they were pretty technically advanced with things like overdrive and servo-assisted disc brakes.
The Morris Minor is a lovely example of a Tourer. This convertible Moggie in Old English White is a delight - especially if the weather's good and you're driving with the top down! It all feels so pared down and simple inside, with just a few knobs and gauges on the dashboard and a seemingly huge steering wheel.
The Austin is a 1963 Ulster replica of the 'Baby' 7, which was launched in 1922. This was Austin's first small car, dubbed ‘the big car in miniature' and 290,000 of them were produced right up until 1939.
You’ll be treated to around 15-minutes behind the wheel of your chosen English classic at your choice of venue, with two in Warwickshire and Bicester Heritage too.
