Pull out the choke, turn the key and take a trip down memory lane! Dad’s Car, Mum’s car, your first car... Drive Dads Car.com The Classic Car Driving Experience
The unique corporate event experience, be transported through british motoring history, join today from only £39, the great british car journey: celebrating britain’s contribution to popular motoring.
Over 130 carefully chosen vehicles tell the story of The British Motor Industry on an interactive journey spanning the last 100 years.
Guided by an audio-visual tablet, visitors will meet the two founding fathers of the industry: Herbert Austin and William Morris, whose vast manufacturing plants in the Midlands produced millions of cars which were exported all over the world. British cars heralded a global transport revolution mobilising billions of people.
Now that era has passed – cars have become as reliable and disposable as a domestic appliance and the industry has become globalised and centred in the East. China is the world’s largest car manufacturer whilst Japan leads the export race which was once a British preserve. Austin, Morris and many other British brands have long since disappeared, but now they have experienced a renaissance in the Derbyshire Dales.
From the legendary Austin 7 to the magnificent Mini, this is the story of engineering, enterprise and endeavour which for a brief period saw British cars rule the road.

If you like old cars, don't miss this. We all had a very enjoyable afternoon at the Great British Car Journey, which tells the story of the British cars which people in the UK have owned and driven over the last 100 years. Many of the cars are very rare now, and the examples at the museum are in great condition.
Last weekend we went see my old mate Ian Gardecki at his latest place of employment in Derbyshire. What a fantastic set up the 'Great British Car Journey' & 'Drive Dad's Car' are.

An excellent history of the British Motor Industry. On arrival you get a tablet which tells you what happened in (roughly) each decade of the 20th century in the British Motor Industry and then you can explore the cars using the QR codes and delve deeper into some of the personal stories of the people involved in the industry and with the cars.
For anyone with a love of cars or even nostalgia this is a must see. Apparently 140 different British cars of all ages from the earliest days of motoring to the 1990s. Childhood m
