\"Great<\/p>\n

Slip behind the steering wheel of a different car and it\u2019s a fun, new and exciting experience. That steering wheel may belong to something you\u2019ve always wanted to drive, and by having your hands on it, you could well be releasing a lifelong dream. But here\u2019s the thing. Drive it for three, four hours, and it\u2019ll all get familiar. You\u2019ll learn its idiosyncrasies, you\u2019ll get to know it. And with that, the shine and excitement of the experience could be sullied. This is especially the case with a classic car. Old cars have faults and foibles. Niggles, if you will. And they come irrespective of how well said cars is maintained. Those niggles can get in the way of the romance that comes from driving an unfamiliar, \u2018new\u2019 to you, classic.<\/span><\/p>\n

What if, then, there was some way to capitalise on that initial excitement but without any of the \u2018realism\u2019 that comes with prolonged time behind the wheel. Well, there is, and it comes care of the forward-thinking<\/span> Great Escape Cars<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Saab,<\/p>\n

Graham Eason, the man behind Great Escape Cars started out like most other companies offering classic car hire. Customer looks on the website, the customer then chooses the car they want, customer pays, customer goes and has a day or two in said car. This is still a large part of Graham\u2019s business, of course, but by offering it and listening to customer feedback, he stumbled upon an idea to buck the trend and change the way we look at hiring a classic car. How? By hiring lots at once, that\u2019s how.<\/span><\/p>\n

Great Escape now offers what it\u2019s branded as Experience Days<\/a>. We were invited along to one put on for those of us who tweet about cars too much to see what it was all about.<\/span><\/p>\n

The premise is simple. The Experience Day is put in the diary, and with it, fourteen or so cars are booked out too. These cars vary wildly, and this is the key to the day\u2019s success. On our Experience Day there were Jaguars, Porsches, Fords, Triumphs, MGs and more. A real diverse cross-section of machinery. Truly something for everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n

In our case, we were paired up with another journalist, Daniel Bevis. In your case, you\u2019ll just be with whomever you bring with you. After the pairs have been confirmed, you\u2019re given a spreadsheet and on it are the cars you\u2019ll be driving. Five in total. For us that meant a Capri 280 \u2018Brooklands\u2019, a Jaguar XJS V12, a Triumph Herald, a Mondeo ST200 and finally, a 3.8 Jaguar Mk2. Not a bad little gathering of machinery. You\u2019re then given a booklet with step-by-step route directions. This is why it\u2019s in pairs. One drives for a bit, the other navigates. Swap, rinse, repeat.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Great<\/p>\n

On paper that all sounds a bit chaotic, but it\u2019s not. Graham and his team have whittled the Experience Day into being nothing short of a well-oiled machine. Everyone has a chat and a look around the cars on arrival, coffee is drunk, laughs are had, a short briefing is given by Graham and then it\u2019s time to hit the road.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Ford Capri<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The first car we had was the Ford Capri 280 \u2018Brooklands\u2019. This was the \u2018run out\u2019 model for the Capri, as is made notable by the Brooklands green paint, the 15-inch alloys, leather Recaro trim and of course, the 2.8i Cologne V6. This is as good as it gets when it comes to Capris, so obviously we were excited to get behind the wheel.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Capri<\/p>\n

One thing to note about the Great escape fleet is that it\u2019s not what you\u2019d call immaculate, but we say that with nothing but affection. The cars are used, and they wear their years with a certain pride. The leather is cracked and worn, the body has the odd scratch, nothing to detract from the overall appeal, just signs that these cars are used. These are \u2018working\u2019 cars after all, so to expect factory-fresh perfection would be naive. The Capri is no exception, but it\u2019s all the better for it. By not being an overly-waxed show queen, it comes across as being more approachable, more \u2018real world\u2019. Fundamentally, this means you\u2019re not afraid to drive it properly.<\/span><\/p>\n

And drive it properly we did. That 2.8i might not be fast by today\u2019s standards, but man it pulls well and makes a great noise while doing it. Having owned several Capris in the past, it all feels pleasantly familiar, but given that our Capris were a bit rubbish, the 280 feels altogether more solid.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Capri<\/p>\n

As we get further into the planned route, the roads open up into the Cotswolds and we get to enjoy the car without too much traffic, all to the backdrop of some spectacular views. It\u2019s already a good day. Though soon our time with the Capri comes to an end as we pull in, after 20-odd miles, into the first coffee stop and driver swap.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Triumph Herald<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Triumph<\/p>\n

Without the bad, you can\u2019t appreciate the good. Though that might be a bit harsh. The little Triumph Herald that, in bright red, looked like it had been pulled straight from the set of <\/span>Last of the Summer Wine<\/span><\/i> wasn\u2019t inherently bad. It was however, and let\u2019s be diplomatic here, comical. Yes. Comical. But that\u2019s what these days are all about. It\u2019s, as the name suggests, an experience. And the little Triumph certainly added to that with all its little quirks and idiosyncrasies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Triumph<\/p>\n

How this car got signed off for production back in 1964 we\u2019ll never know. As you sit in the car and look at the enormous steering wheel, you immediately notice that the clutch is to the <\/span>right<\/span><\/i> of the steering column. As such, you sit in a sort of zig-zag way. Comfortable it is not. It\u2019s also not a forgiving car. There\u2019s no synchro on first, so it \u2018bites\u2019 you every time you try to engage it when still rolling. Standard for the day, but takes some getting used to in 2019. The handling is wayward, the brakes are too much for the little car and the wind noise is atrocious. But man alive, how we giggled as we were driving along. It was fun and silly, and because we knew we were jumping into a Jaguar next, we could forgive the Triumph and laugh with it rather than at it.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Jaguar XJS V12<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Jaguar<\/p>\n

After lunch at the newly-launched<\/span> Caffeine & Machine<\/span><\/a> it was time to tame the big cat. Namely a Jaguar XJS V12. Because to have fewer cylinders is for peasants, or so we can only imagine the original \u201880s marketing material read. This was a real treat, and a perfect representation of what these days are all about \u2013 driving cars you\u2019ve never driven before.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Jaguar<\/p>\n

It was like driving a memory foam mattress. The big Jag just swallowed up bumps and lumps in the road without fuss or drama. You simply have to point that egregiously long bonnet roughly where you want to go, then push down on the throttle. The car seems to do the rest without fuss. That leads us onto the engine. There\u2019s no drama or noise despite having twelve cylinders. It just picks up pace without making a peep. It\u2019s disconcerting at first, but then becomes somewhat reassuring. Almost as if the Jag is saying \u201cdon\u2019t worry, I\u2019ve got this\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Mondeo ST200<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Ford,<\/p>\n

You might scoff at the notion of a Mondeo, and you\u2019d be a fool to do so. Again, this day is an experience<\/em> day, and the further apart the cars you drive are, the richer that experience is. The Mondeo proved that. And it did have merit, being the rare ST200 model. That means a hair over 200bhp, which is pretty much Sierra Cosworth power, but without the turbo lag. Instead, you just get huge dollops of torque as you plough through the gears, imagining you\u2019re late for a meeting with other middle-management types.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Ford,<\/p>\n

Compared to the previous cars we\u2019d driven, the Mondeo brought with it a pleasing turn of pace, which was welcome at this point. It was another experience, and one that you may well not go out of your way to obtain, given the unfairly unspectacular reputation of the Mondeo. But through this wonderful mix and match day of driving, we did get to have a go, and we\u2019re glad of it. We’re less glad that our bookmarks tab is full of V6 Mondeos<\/a>, though.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Jaguar Mk2 3.8<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Mk2<\/p>\n

Call the law, there\u2019s a robbery going down. Or at least that\u2019s what we told ourselves as we ploughed through the manual gearbox of the 3.8 Mk2 Jag. We must admit, we\u2019ve driven this car before, but that\u2019s not a bad thing. Our previous drive was brief, which left us wanting for more. It was nice to be back, once more surrounded by wood, leather and a faint whiff of petrol.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Mk2<\/p>\n

By no means the most immaculate example with its wonky badges and occasionally flaking woodwork, the Great Escape Mk2 is a worn and well-worked machine. But to us, that\u2019s how a Mk2 should be. We were raised under the flickering glow of TV shows that showed these cars in action, be it Morse or baddies in The Sweeney, the Jag was always keen to screech a tyre and lean into a corner in the name of entertainment. So, naturally we embodied that as we drove, and it felt right because it was indeed a bit weathered. It felt right. It didn\u2019t feel like we were asking Banksy to touch up the Mona Lisa.<\/span><\/p>\n

Was it a good day out?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

In a nutshell, yes. This is a brilliant and intelligent take on the notion of hiring a classic car. You get to meet new people, you get the giddy thrill of being on the road with a gaggle of other classics, you get to drive cars you didn\u2019t anticipate you would ever drive, and you get to have fun. It is, simply, a brilliant way to spend a day.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Great<\/p>\n

If there is one car that tickles your pickle, you can always book it individually for a later date, safe in the knowledge that you know what it will be like. This isn\u2019t just an experience, it\u2019s also a way to shop for a car you might want to spend more time with. Or it might just encourage you to come along to the next one and drive some more of the Great Escape fleet. But whatever you take from it, you\u2019ll absolutely love it. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
