Alvis TE21 convertible 1966 (Group A)
A truly great classic 4-seater convertible, recently made more known, by its starring role with Stephen Fry in the BBC's drama "Kingdom". This is the only Alvis available for self-drive hire in the UK. -
Mercedes Benz 280 SL 1970 (Group A)
Good clean German design, easy to drive with easily operated hood. It has a straight six cylinder engine with a four speed automatic gearbox and has reasonable boot space. This car has the benefit of a hard top for the cooler times of year. -
Triumph TR3A 1959 (Group A)
A small fun car to drive and great in the Summer. With the cut away doors and hood down you feel close to the elements. A true Brit! -
Ferrari 308 GTS 1979 (Group B)

Jaguar E Type Series I Convertible 3.8 1963 (Grp B)
To many people, the ultimate Jaguar and British sports car. It has a basic understated interior and beautiful aluminum dash. The brakes have been upgraded with Coopercraft calliper system, making it a pleasure to drive even with the slightly primitive Moss gearbox. -
Jaguar XK 150S, 3.4 (OTS) 1957 (Group B)
