There’s something quite magical about classic cars. All of these vehicles are veterans of the road and while it's true to say they lack modern motoring aids such as ABS braking, power steering and reverse parking cameras, there's something incredibly involving about driving these motors. You'll be harking back to an era when you really had drive these cars to get the best out them.
Looking round whilst stuck in the line of morning commuters to get on the motorway every morning, you'd be forgiven for saying modern motoring is dull. All the body shapes look the same, it's all about fuel economy, energy efficiency and driver aids these days. With these experiences we are taking you back to a classic age when 'going out for a drive' was a rather spiffing way to while away a Sunday afternoon and the cars were full of character.
Who can deny the romance of the timeless Aston Martin DB4? Who wouldn't agree that the Jaguar E-Type is beautiful (and in fact this very sleek car still regularly wins 'best looking car' polls?) Who could deny that the original Mini changed the world of city motoring? Plunge yourself into the lost world of car ownership from the halcyon days of the 1960s when the British automotive design and engineering industry led the world and manufacturing plants were working at full capacity.
Vintage open-top motoring
It’s worth noting that several of these vintage motors are roadsters, so when the sun's shining driving with the top down is a must do and you can cruise the track or the roads posing like the best of them in your convertible. And just imagine the sounds swirling around you as you accelerate away from the lights. Pure bliss.
We've waxed lyrical about the British-ness of these experiences, but there are also a couple of American boys in on the act too, featuring the impressive Mustang. This car is a US vintage motoring at its best - the obligatory big, throaty, growly V8 engine and the aggressive larger than life styling definitely makes these vehicles stand out amongst the pack.
As for where you'll be going in these classic cars, it'll be track or road. We can highly recommend the experiences at Goodwood, the historic driving circuit that's synonymous with period cars, being host to the Revival festival.
Our other top tip is a roadtrip in a veteran car with picnic included. And to give you a taste of what you can expect, watch our open road classic car driving video - an impressive collection of motors, we think you’ll agree! All you need now are the leather driving gloves and not only will you have the right car in your hands, but you'll look the part too.
