It’s National Drive It Day this Sunday, 21st April, a day created by the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs to help raise awareness of the historic vehicle movement.
So what better excuse is there to spring clean the classic and take it for a spin! If you do, we’d love to see some photos of you out and about, so feel free to email us so we can share them with our community!
What will I be doing? Well I’m all up for getting support from the public to keep transport heritage on the UK roads, so I’ll be taking the Ital out for its first drive of the year. We’ll be pootling across the beautiful North York Moors, give us a wave if you see us!
If you’re looking for somewhere to head to on Drive It Day, check out the FBHVC website for lots of info.
Your Stories
Everyone has a special memory about their passion for classics. It might be a car owned by your Dad, the one that got away, a celebrity owned car, the project that became a money pit or perhaps your passion became your business?
So grab a cuppa, sit down and have a read through our Owner’s Stories and maybe they’ll evoke some memories for you. If you’ve got a story you’d like to share, please click HERE to send it to us.
Auction News
This one’s a bit special. If you want to find out what a new Ford Sierra RS Cosworth would feel like today, then look no further. This unmodified, unique Cosworth with only 22,000 miles is probably as close as you are going to get to finding out.
The 2.0-litre YB engine uses a Garrett T3 turbocharger and has an impressive performance of 0-60 in 6.2 seconds and a top speed of 149mph. Oh yes…
