Can there be a more magical driving experience than behind the wheel of a Classic Car motoring along a leafy, country lane with the sun shining and the purr of the engine keeping you company? Probably not. Which begs the question of which is the best classic car for a countryside drive?
Best of British for a Road Tour
Let's start close to home to see how British classics shape up, and where better to begin than with the Jaguar E-Type.
This iconic model was once described by Enzo Ferrari as "the most beautiful car ever made", so surely it's the perfect choice for a countryside drive?
Well, yes, it probably is. Aside from its striking looks, that will receive admitting glances wherever it goes, the model available to drive with DrivingExperience.com boasts a silky 4-speed manual gearbox and 4.2 straight-six engine.
Rolling Through The Years
Rolls-Royce is one of the UK's most famous, and respected, car makers, known around the world for elegance, style and sophistication.
If you fancy living the high life then you can taste glitz and glamour in a wonderful Mulliner Park Ward 'Corniche', without doubt one of the most striking cars in our exotic fleet.
Underneath the bonnet is a huge 6750cc V8 engine, while its distinctive look is courtesy of John Polwhele Blatchley. All-in-all, another worthy contender as the best classic for a countryside drive.
The Epitome of a British Classic
The Morris Minor is one of the most unmistakable of all British classics, with styling that shines from every angle and reminds drivers of a golden era of motoring.
It continues to hold a fond place in many people's hearts, so driving a convertible version through the British countryside on a sunny day is a trip down memory lane that ticks all the right boxes.
As for the car, the Morris Minor was the first British car to sell more than 1,000,000 units and it remains one of the most enduring classics.
Austin Powers Into the Equation
The Austin Healey 3000 is another quintessentially British classic, feeling totally at home when being driven down a countryside lane.
Our model is propelled by a lively straight six 3-litre engine, while its performance is matched by its elegant bodywork complete with distinctive two-tone paintwork.
It is a classic that is highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts, and is a fantastic inclusion as we turn back time.
Italian Automotive Masterpiece
Driving pleasure doesn't come much larger than with the classic Fiat 500. Ours is a 1969 model, resplendent with its bright sunshine yellow paintwork, the ideal shade for a sunny backdrop.
For those who didn't know, the Fiat 500 won a prestigious design prize and we're sure you'll agree it will look stunning on a countryside drive (or pretty much anywhere where it's being enjoyed).
