Classic car taster experiences – harking back to a time before ABS and paddle-shift gearboxes! You’re going to have an absolute blast driving these classic cars around the track.This is vintage motoring at its very best with a nod to the time when simply going out ‘for a drive’ was a popular pastime in itself. You get that wonderful sensation of being free to drive purely for the enjoyment value on these classic car blasts.
A former airfield site the layout incorporates the main runway so you can appreciate the speed along with five corners to test the handling and steering. And don’t just take our word for it Thames Valley Police has used Heyford Park for driver training too.
So what the line-up of cars is like? Well we can tell you that in terms of vintage car gifts this one has to be near the number one spot as all the favourites feature.
The car that leaps into pole position for many of us motoring-mad Brits is the Jaguar E-Type. Quite simply a gorgeous classic car that epitomises the taste and style of the 60s. Then there’s the Austin Healey 3000. Once again this car is a great example of motoring in that golden era especially the ‘sports convertible’ genre of classic cars. This one is a BJ8 Mk III model from 1964 that has been lovingly restored to tip-top condition.
Following close at the heels is the Aston Martin Vantage. Cited as the first British supercar this is one heck of a beast straight out of the 70s! You can then add in a lovely little (and pretty rare) MkIII Mini Cooper S that seems so small in comparison to today’s Minis.
Giving a transatlantic flavour to your classic car taster day is a 1967 Ford Mustang. The perfect example of a Fastback car it’s certainly distinctive with that continuously sloping roofline right down the rear bumper that makes American cars of the 50s and 60s so recognisable. As you can imagine it’s quite a handful on the track too!
As we’re sure you’ll agree with these classic car taster experiences at Heyford Park you’ve got a rather superb collection of cars to drive and it’s going to be a lot of fun. Time to drive back in time.
