Experience The Thrill Of The Open Road With Classic Cars For Hire

They say that there's nothing like the thrill of the open road, but for many people, modern driving has lost something of its charm.  The cars that you drive probably has features such as power steering, anti-lock braking and various other electronic aids to make your life easier, but what if you don't want it to be easy?  What if you want to do some real driving, without the benefit of modern technology, in a vehicle with its own individual character?

How To Relive The Old Days With Classic Car Hire

How many times have you found yourself harking back to the 'good old days'? Perhaps you were leafing through the old family photograph album or recalling memories to a friend. It is that nostalgia which gives you the warm feeling quite like anything else you will experience.

There are many ways to take a trip down memory lane but you can quite literally do this if you invest in classic car hire.

Classic car rental is the perfect way to experience motoring in the make or model of car you drove in your younger years or to familiarise yourself with a car you could only dream of owning.

There are many makes and models available for classic car hire, such as the Jaguar e-type, an iconic car which stunned everyone with its bodywork and handling from the moment it was launched in 1961 and is still coveted today by car enthusiasts all over the world.

You might prefer to don goggles and headscarf and let the wind rustle through your hair as you hit the open road in a Triumph Vitesse, Austin Healey Sprite or MG TF.

There are many reasons to enjoy classic car rental, perhaps to drive out into the country for a day, extend the fun and spend a weekend away or just relive the freedom and excitement of motoring days of old.

Classic car hire is also very popular for weddings. There can be no better way to arrive or depart from your special day, than at the wheel or in the back seat of a little piece of motoring history.

If you use a reputable classic car rental company, the price you pay for the rental will also include comprehensive insurance, roadside assistance and recovery so you can put the pedal to the metal without having to worry about anything going wrong.

Whatever the reason behind investing in classic car hire, it will be a day you remember forever and you won't want to get back to your modern motor.

Now is the time we try to get the maintenance done ready for the spring. Last week was definitely Jaguar week, firstly I had to sort out a leaking rear brake calliper on my MKII, this was fixed with a new set of seals and new brake pads. Then comes the e-type. I have had several issues with the e-type through 2009, noisy tappets, excessive oil consumption and an occasional reluctance to engage the starter motor. So it's off with the cylinder head and out with the pistons. The pistons are fine, no blow past (Engine has only done about 15k since a total rebuild so it should be fine!) The cylinder head will have to go to a machine shop for new valve guide oil seats.

The bad weather means that I cannot let any cars out for hire at the moment - classics are rear wheel drive and do not have extras like ABS. Lets hope things warm up soon!

So, here is my first blog postings for Self Drive Classics. As the name suggests, Self Drive Classics provides people with the opportunity to enjoy the pleasure of driving a classic car without the hassle of actually owning one. I started Self Drive Classics 5 years ago when I decided I'd had enough of IT project management and I should 'go for it' and follow my dream. Although, if you ask my partner, she would tell you its a great excuse to blow my savings on a bunch of old cars! And then spend my time playing with them. The very best part of running this business is the reaction I get time and time again from people who have thoroughly enjoyed a day or weekend in a classic car. I have a very diverse range of cars for all occasions and I intend to use this Blog to share some of my customers experiences as well as recording both the pleasure and the pain of keeping a fleet of classics on the road.
