This nostalgic experience is offered on select days, so be sure to check our operating days before planning your visit. Whether you're a lifelong car lover, simply curious, or would love to experience your dream car, Drive Dad's Car invites you to relive the golden age of British motoring.
Drive Dad's Car is located at Great British Car Journey, an award winning interactive classic car museum, boasting a collection of 150+ modern British classics, including one of the last cars to roll off the Longbridge production line. Great British Car Journey illustrates the rise and fall of the British motoring industry from the early 1900s to the turn of the century.
Each vehicle tells a story – from Elton John’s Bentley to the car that was used to chauffeur British High Court judge Sir Fenton Atkinson during the high-profile trial of the Moors murderers. And entry to this, and our Filling Station Cafe, is included within your Drive Dad's Car Journey, so why not make a day of it? Join us for a nostalgia packed day!
