What Can I Expect

Luxury and classic car driving in Derbyshire! Go for a spot of motoring opulence driving your choice of British-made luxury car classics. This is quintessential British motoring at its very best, with you at the wheel.

Your experience takes place at the Derwent Works in the picturesque Derbyshire village of Ambergate. This former factory is now home to the Great British Car Journey - a large collection of British motor cars through the ages.

The line-up of motors are all from the museum's fleet, so it's a real honour to be able to actually drive them and not just look at them on display. We’re talking classic Grand Tourers that were built to be driven.

Back in the day, these saloons cruised effortlessly along Britain's new network of motorways in the maximum of comfort. This was executive motoring in its early days, with posh folk and business types snapping up the latest Bentley, Jaguars, Rolls-Royces and the like.

You'll be driving your car of choice on a special circuit. It actually takes in the internal roads around the factory, so you're well away from the hustle and bustle of the public roads. The set-up has been cleverly done to resemble a street scene from those carefree days of motoring, making your drive all the more authentic.

Of course, these cars were the height of modernity in their heyday, but prepare yourself for heavy steering, manual gearboxes and no fancy driver aids. Fabulous fun on these luxury and classic car driving days in Derbyshire.
