The Great British Car Journey, the unique and exciting motoring attraction in Ambergate, Derbyshire rounds off Austin Seven Centenary celebrations with a driving adventure, starring classic car enthusiasts and motoring presenters, Paul Woodford and Sarah Crabtree.
The two petrolheads met for the first time at the opening of the Derbyshire attraction in 2021, before striking a deal with CEO Richard Usher at the recent Great British Car Shows awards dinner, where Paul was the after-dinner speaker and Sarah was presenting the awards, to produce a pilot online classic car series.
As Paul explains, the adventure was a voyage of discovery:
“When Sarah and I met up in Derbyshire for the filming day, neither of us had really had much to do with pre-war vintage cars. Beyond appreciating this era of motoring for its significance in the history of cars, vintage cars haven’t really featured in my career so far.
That all changed upon getting behind the wheel of various Austin models with the brilliant and hilarious Sarah “Crabbers” Crabtree, and I have to admit to browsing the classifieds a few times since!”
During the series, which features ‘Drive’ features of two Austin Seven models, as well as the Austin 12 and Austin 14 Goodwood, Sarah and Paul enjoy a mini road trip, and tell the story of these iconic vintage cars, as well as getting into various ‘scrapes’ along the way.
The full series is available to watch across the Great British Car Journey social media, including the attraction’s YouTube channel, HERE.
