Picture the scene: a Classic Jaguar/MG touring un-spoilt countryside in the sunny Charente Maritime region of France. No this isn’t a flashback to years gone bye, but a great idea for a nostalgic classic car break.
We offer you our superb accommodation, our classic cars, and together with our local knowledge and route maps, we will lead you to an experience to remember for many years to come.
Visit Cognac distilleries, vineyards and beautiful sandy beaches by Classic car driving some of the best, and for the most part, deserted, touring roads in France. Here the word “rush hour” has yet to be invented. If this sounds like your idea of motoring heaven (or the Classic Jaguar/ MG dream of someone close to you) then read on…..
Arrange your flight into La Rochelle (regular flights from Stansted, Birmingham, Bristol and Southampton) and we will meet you at the airport. In just 35 minutes you will arrive at Les Capucines – a restored traditional Charentaise style farmhouse dating back to the XVIIth century. Settle in to one of our comfortable and well equipped self-catering gites and then collect the keys to the classic car you have chosen for your holiday. |

The “Classic British sportscar”
MGB Roadster from 1981. The MGB was Britain’s best selling sportscar and was produced between 1962 and 1981. This example is one of the last 500 produced and is an LE Roadster. To date it has covered only 50,000 miles and has been converted to the classic “chrome bumper and grille” specification and looks superb on its Minilight alloy centre-lock wheels. Choose this car if you want a fun drive and a permanent grin on your face! |

The “Modern” Classic
Jaguar XJS Celebration Convertible 2+2 from 1996. The XJS is Jaguars most successful sports car ever and was launched in 1975. To “Celebrate” its 21 years in production, and just prior to the launch of the XK8, a special last-of-the-line model was offered with the 4.0 litre engine. This example is “as new” and looks superb with its Spruce Green paintwork and Oatmeal trim. Destined to become a modern collectible choose this 2 + 2 if you want the wind in your hair. |
