Freddie was thrilled with his junior drive – and it takes a lot to impress a twelve year old!
He can`t wait to come up again and do another one.”

So many Children really want to drive a real car

Let your son or daughter sample the delights of a Classic Mini taking their first go behind the wheel of a real car!

Zoe : our fully qualified Advanced Driving Instructor will be in the passenger seat and has dual controls just in case youthful exuberance is a bit too much in evidence.

Our beautiful 30th Anniversary Limited Edition Mini dates from 1989 but it is in tip top condition and has a rare automatic gearbox.

There is nothing like the original Mini : it handles like a go-kart and goes remarkably well and because its so tiny, it is the ideal car for youngsters to have a go in. 5.4 million Minis were made between 1959 and 2000 so they will always remember their drive in an absolute British legend.
