Enjoy a weekday's sightseeing in the beautiful county of Essex with our MGB Roadster Classic Car Hire package. This year round, Government guideline friendly package, which starts in the pretty coastal town of Shoeburyness - an hour's train away from Central London - will see you and a passenger of your choice take to the wheel for a day's driving in a stunning vintage MGB Roadster.The MGB Roadster we have available means that whether you're driving on a chilly Autumn day with the heating on or in glorious Spring sunshine with the webasto sun roof down, this really is an all rounder of a driving day, as Essex has so much to see in all seasons. There is also the additional option to upgrade your driving day together and enjoy a packed lunch for two. Your driving time will last from 10am - 6pm, giving you plenty of time to explore this most picturesque and historic of counties in all of England, from Colchester Castle to Hylands Park, to the golden beaches of Walton on the Naze and Southend, and pretty villages of Ongar and Finchingfield. It's an unforgettable day of sights, all enjoyed from the comfort of a classic MGB Roadster.
