Making dreams come true since 2004

Do you yearn for the days when you weren’t cocooned in an air conditioned, rattle-free box that looks just like all the other boxes on wheels on today’s roads? Thought so....

And have you dreamed about cruising the countryside in the kind of classic car that oozes a style which allows you to turn up at any event and steal the thunder of the star performers? Guessed so....

That’s why we’re here. Classic car hire from Self Drive Classics Ltd fills the nostalgia gap for those who yearn for the days when motoring meant freedom and excitement. Fun and romance. Open tops, open windows. The joy of driving! How about hiring a classic car for a summer weekend of exhilerating excitement purely to relive those dreams.

Getting hitched? Turn your wedding into a classic event with the wow factor. And what about his and her’s classic cars? What a way to start the big day. You could hire a classic car as a special gift, or simply relive those motoring memories with a classic car for a touring holiday. There are still miles and miles of virtually undisturbed countryside in Great Britain, where you can lose yourelf in a time gone by.

Want to be James Bond for the day? How about the legendary Aston Martin DB7 V12 Vantage.

Or what about the car that was voted the best ever - the superb Jaguar e-type coupe or the racing green e.type roadster. Now that’s motoring with oomph!

Of coure, our stable of Self Drive Classic Cars is full of thoroughbreds. Remember the Austin Healey 3000? or for those who remember such things, the Healey stablemate 100/4.

If you really must have the sort of luxury that smooths out the bumps, we’ve got a superb example of the Mercedes Benz 380SL...but getting back to fun, the “Frogeye” Sprite was always the choice of young lads who wanted to impress the girls.

Something a bit more sedate: No-one ever forgets the endearing Morris Minor convertible. It opened up a world of classic touring for those with a tight budget. Is there more?

Oh yes, we’re justly proud of our daffodil yellow “rock and roll” 1959 Ford Zodiac... our 1950s MG TF, a superb example of the MGB as well as the ultimate MGB - the RV8 and a the GTi of the Herald world - the Vitesse.

Naturally, all our cars come with comprehensive insurance, roadside assistance and recovery. We also provide maps, ideas for touring, advise on accommodation, we even have a stock of hats, scarves, warm tops and shades to help make your classic day just perfect.

Self Drive Classics is really easy to find. We’re in the Midlands; on the Staffordshire/Derbyshire border near the cathedral city of Lichfield, which is just a few miles north of Birmingham. This is ideal exploring country; the majestic Derbyshire peaks, the beautiful Cotswolds, Shakespeare’s Stratfordupon- Avon, the World Heritage site of Ironbridge, Althorp House, Chatsworth House and magnificent Warwick Castle.
