Drive
it Day
Sunday 21st April 2013
Drive
It Day encourages our 500-plus club members and
supporters plus other historic vehicle enthusiasts
to use yesterday's two, three, four or more wheeled
vehicles for a day to celebrate the UK's transport
heritage at its finest. All owners of historic cars
are |
encouraged
to take to the roads on the 21 April to demonstrate
how many historic and interesting machines are still
on the road today.
Most FBHVC members already have planned to make
the most of this day by using the public roads,
meeting at local venues, places of interest, including
museums such as Beaulieu, National Trust and heritage
properties, transport cafes, like the Ace, local
beauty spots or even car parks.
The FBHVC team will be attending a number of the
many events. In particular they will have an attendance
at the Heritage Motor Centre in Gaydon, which is
home to the world's largest collection of British
historic cars. Centrally positioned Gaydon would
make a good start point, intermediate waypoint to
visit en-route, or an excellent location to finish
a day's run.
In
support of Drive it Day, the Heritage
Motor Centre will offer a special admission
price of £5 for museum entry for those arriving
in historic vehicles. In addition a discounted rate
will be offered for the Land Rover Experience. This
is a ride, as a passenger, through the steep and
twisting multi-terrain track, either in a modern
Discovery or an early Series III. |
