NewcastleThree classic English locations bursting with brilliant driving routes plus one classic British sports car. Road trip heaven!
It’s fair to say we’re classic-car enthusiasts here at McKinlay Kidd, with between us many thousands of miles spent touring the UK and Ireland in a variety of vehicles.
With this carefully-crafted trip, we’ve made sure there’s a good balance of distance and dally, giving you the chance to really enjoy your time behind the wheel, as well as to take in some of the UK’s finest scenery and terrific Tarmac. We’re able to offer, for example, MGB Roadster, Triumph TR6, Jaguar E-type and Karmann Ghia ready for collection in Northumberland. Travel south across the Yorkshire Dales to Pickering, then make your way west to the winding ribbons and vast skies of the Lake District. Finally, head into Hadrian’s Wall country, guided by our tips to taking the road less travelled wherever possible.
