The Austin Seven pioneered car ownership for the common man and his family. Hitherto condemned to a motorbike possibly tethered to a side-car, Austin’s little car offered the tantalising prospect of being able to take the family for days out and even holidays at the coast : it offered freedom to explore a world away from cramped and dirty towns and cities by taking to Britain’s network of winding country roads.
By the mid 1930s despite the economic traumas earlier in the decade, a second-hand Austin 7 could be had for similar money to a motor bike combination and Britain’s Motorcycle industry would never be the same again.
By the outbreak of war in 1939, more than 300,000 Sevens had been built and as Morris and Ford joined the small car party, the hard-working couple could give their family a freedom of mobility that transformed the way we live.
Patience would be required: The Seven’s little engine produced less than 20 horsepower and fully laden it would struggle to reach 40mph, but it opened up the Cotswolds and the coast to millions of people for whom such distant destinations were merely pictures in a book.
The Seven was produced under license in France, Germany, the USA and Japan and such is the love for Austin’s baby car that more than 10,000 are still in use around the world.
Hopefully 4th May will be a lovely Spring day and we would like to assemble as many vintage and pre-war cars as possible to celebrate.

The Morris Minor is one of our “Hero” cars and made its debut at the British Motor Show at Earls Court in October 1948 . The Minor is central to the story of the Great British Car Journey being the best selling and most loved next generation of true family transport after the war and taking over the mantle from the Austin 7.
Although Morris himself was no great fan of the Minor, it is a landmark vehicle in the history of Great British Cars with more than 1.7 million being built between 1948 and 1971.
Hopefully 8th June will be a lovely Summer day and we would like to assemble as many Morris Minors as possible to celebrate this marvellous little car.

MG, the iconic British automobile manufacturer of automotive excellence and innovation, has a rich legacy in the automotive industry.
Founded in 1924 as Morris Garages, MG quickly rose to prominence with its sports cars and captured the imagination of car enthusiasts around the world. The brand became synonymous with British motoring heritage and a symbol of style, performance, and affordable luxury.
Throughout its history, MG introduced a range of iconic models that left an indelible mark on the automotive landscape. From the early days of the MG M-Type and MG T-Type, which embodied the classic British roadster charm, to the MGB, a quintessential symbol of the brand, MG cars consistently combined sportiness, elegance, and driving pleasure.

Supercar Sunday and DeLorean Day returns to the Great British Car Journey. On Sunday 3rd August you’ll be able to see a selection of Supercars and DeLoreans and even have the opportunity to take a passenger ride in our very own DeLorean DMC-12!! Available for £10 per lap.
Discounted entry of just £10 per person (save £8.50 for each person on usual on the day price) is available for tickets purchased in advance for ALL occupants of ANY Supercar marque attending on the day. The special discounted entry price includes full access to the Great British Car Journey interactive museum, cafe and facilities. To book a car in to show, email oliver@greatbritishcarjourney.com
Promises to be a great family day and to celebrate ALL children (0-15years) can enjoy FREE entry to both the event and attraction (if you are booking in advance online just book for adults and just turn up on the day with the children to enjoy free entry for them).
Production of the DeLorean began in 1981 just four years before the car was catapulted into the spotlight by the highest-grossing film of 1985 – Back To The Future.
With its revolutionary stainless-steel body and distinctive gull-wing doors, the DeLorean was born with film star appeal and the futuristic DMC-12 sportscar now enjoys cult status.
Kids are also encouraged to come in Back To The Future costumes, with a prize for the best mini Marty McFly and Doc Brown on the day. Prizes include model cars and goody bags.
Manufactured in Northern Ireland, the DeLorean has rightfully claimed its place in the Great British Car collection which features more than 150 cars manufactured and designed in the UK.
We are expecting at least 5 DeLoreans to attend but please note we cannot guarantee exact timings, car numbers (except our own) or club attendance as this may be subject to last minute change.
Please note that these are external club visits – they are an added bonus to your Great British Car Journey visit. We cannot guarantee exact timings or cars in attendance and they may be subject to last minute change or cancellation.

Triumph Cars, one of the iconic British automobile manufacturers, marks over a century of automotive excellence, rich heritage, and enduring legacy in the automotive industry.
Originally founded by Siegfried Bettmann and shortly joined by Moritz Schulte, the company’s early years were focused on manufacturing bicycles, then ventured into the realm of cars – producing their first in 1923.
Over the decades, Triumph introduced a range of iconic models that left an indelible mark on automotive history. From the sporty Triumph TR series, to the stylish saloons like the Triumph Dolomite and Triumph 2000.
The Triumph Spitfire, a compact and affordable sports car, became synonymous with the brand and remains an enduring symbol of Triumph’s commitment to delivering exhilarating driving experiences. The Spitfire’s sleek lines, open-top design, and spirited performance endeared it to enthusiasts and solidified its place in automotive folklore.
As Triumph Cars celebrates over 100 years, it’s a time to reflect on the company’s enduring legacy and its contributions to the automotive world.
