The number of cars on permanent display at Great British Car Journey will increase to over 160 from Easter weekend with a range of the cars that you can actually drive being displayed outside the interactive museum’s final chapter. The Drive Dads Car experience which will run on three days in the Summer now offers a choice of 60 cars covering over 100 years of British Car manufacturing.
The cars on display date from the 1950s to the 2020s : the oldest being a 1953 Austin Somerset and the youngest being one of the last Dutton fully amphibious cars built in the UK three years ago.
The new display features many cars which are not on display inside the museum with volume stalwarts such as a Ford Cortina Mk 4 ,a Chrysler Avenger and a Reliant Robin as well as an Austin Cambridge all pleading to be able to take visitors on a drive down Memory Lane. There is also a charming Morris Minor Convertible and a cheeky little Hillman Imp.
Richard Usher Great British Car Journey founder commented “ Most of these cars date from a now lost era when the car was very much part of the family and a new car was a really major family event. The smiles on the faces of our visitors when they re-live those magic motoring memories are genuinely marvellous to behold”.
So why not join us this summer and take a look or better still a drive in these extra cars
