Plus a free cuppa! Get yourself down to Ambergate before March 31
Great British Car Journey, the classic car visitor attraction that boasts more than 140 classic British cars and gives you the chance to drive some of them, is offering an exclusive deal to readers of Practical Classics. Visit the museum before March 31 with a hard copy of the latest issue of Practical Classics magazine in your hand and you won’t simply get £8.50 off the regular adult entry price (making it only £10!), you will also be able to enjoy a free hot beverage at the Filling Station café into the bargain!
PC editor Danny Hopkins and Richard Usher, owner of the museum in Ambergate, Derbyshire (DE56 2HE) came up with the plan over a… you guessed it, cup of tea. ‘GBCJ is pretty much Practical Classics in museum form,’ says Danny, ‘so this feels like a completely appropriate deal.’ GBCJ takes visitors through a nine-stage story of the rise and demise of the British motor industry using a unique interactive device.
Outside the building, Drive Dad’s Car allows visitors to go for a test drive with an instructor in a selection of over 35 iconic British cars from the Austin Seven to a Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit.
