Out with the Chevette and in with the Astra. Crisp styling and a new OHC engine. The Astra was destined for a very long production run …but not in the mark one guise. Vauxhall’s rival to Ford’s best selling Escort was launched in 1980 and is still being made today but sadly not in the UK
For more than 40 years it has been a much loved car, popular with Mums , Dads and growing families. Mk1 and 2 Astras are now a rare sight but of course like Chevettes, Vivas and Victors, they can all be seen at the Great British Car Journey
Launched in 1980 as the Austin Mini Metro with great fanfare as the successor to the Mini, the Metro was a clever reskin of its smaller brother which took the fight to the Fiesta in the increasingly popular “super mini” category Over 2 million were sold before its withdrawal in 1998.
It may not have been the fastest sports car of the 60s and 70s but the MGB provided truly lovely wind in the hair motoring with style, brio and a decent turn of speed.

The replacement for the Cortina divided opinion initially with its jelly-mould styling but soon became a firm favourite with sales executives all over the country. The Sierra and the Cavalier battled it out for over a decade for that lucrative company car market.

Tamwoth based Reliant became the butt of many a joke with their three wheelers but they provided reliable transport for generations of owners including Derek Trotter
The subject of the first Chapter of The Great British Car Journey : there are numerous examples of Austin’s iconic little car on display, from “ordinary” saloons to Swallows and Sports. There is even a Ruby on our Drive Dads Car fleet so you can sample how the family travelled in the 1930s. The little car built in Birmingham which changed the world.

Fiesta production has finally ceased after nearly half a century of production. More than 20 million have been made and the early cars are now extremely sought after. Building on the success of the Escort and the trend for smaller cars the Fiesta became one of the UK’s best selling cars of all time. We have several Fiesta at the Great British Car Journey from this sporty XR2 to a Cabriolet and the very popular MK3
