Our British Classic Drive experience will you get behind the wheel of the cars that put the Great in Great Britain. We've assembled an extensive fleet that includes renowned classics like a recreation of the Jaguar E-Type and Mini, as well as the high-performance Ford Escort RS MK1, AC Cobra and the Aston Martin Vantage. You'll get up to 3 miles of driving time, sat beside an expert instructor who'll be giving you tips to help you get the most out of your drive in your chosen classic. Once you've given it everything for 3 miles, you'll be shown how it's done by someone who knows the track like the back of their hand with a free instructor-driven high-speed passenger ride in a performance saloon car!
