I hired the Aston Martin DB7 for 48 hours for my husband's 60th. The hiring process was faultless, professional and thoughtful from start to finish. Nikki ensured that all paperwork was handled discreetly, to maintain the secret, and my husband was made to feel special when we collected. The car was beautifully presented and both my son and husband found it a dream to drive. The welcome pack in the car contained plenty of tour ideas, and comprehensive information about the car. I think value for money compared to a track day is excellent. The only downside....having to hand it back!

Absolutely first class in every respect. I was given a detailed description of all interior/mechanical functions/tips to drive this car easily upon collection along with detailed information on breakdown cover & nearby appointed fuel stations. The WR quattro is an absolute joy. - once in I didn't want to get out ! I could listen to that engine note all day & the stretch of road I found from Devizes out towards Salisbury with those sweeping bends suited the quattro perfectly. Just to see the joy on enthusiasts faces & the respect the quattro commands is an experience in itself. I really cannot commend Vintage Classics highly enough. Ease of booking, being kept up to date with information, their attention to detail & the importance of the customer journey clearly apparent. Bravo ! - I'll be back next year.

Vintage Classics were warm, friendly and extremely helpful. They provided thorough details about the surrounding areas to enable an absolutely brilliant day driving the Alfa Romero Spider. From start to finish the whole experience was faultless, the car was immaculately well kept and was a dream to drive. Overall a wonderful and memorable birthday surprise.

This was the second time I have used Vintage Classics - what wonderful experiences! The whole set-up is thoroughly professional, the cars are in very fine condition, and they bring back a type of involved motoring that most of us, alas, have forgotten about. Phil and Nikki are just genuine folk who care about a friendly and helpful service. So far, the Alfa Romeo GTV and the MGC - different, but oh so memorable.
I will unquestionably return. Completely recommend without hesitation.

I hired the most beautiful Aston Martin DB7 Volante for my husband's 50th birthday and the whole experience from start to finish was fantastic. I can't fault Nikki and Philip's customer service - they really have thought of everything. The whole process went so smoothly. From booking and pickup - the office is spotlessly clean - to collecting our car at the end of the weekend. They provided detailed route maps for recommended tours with restaurants and tourist highlights and I loved that they have even provided essential toiletries in their office bathrooms should you need anything.
It made a special occasion even more memorable for us both and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Many thanks to both of you!

We rented Phil's Alfa 2000 GTV in September for 3 days. It was a faultless experience, from booking to collection to return everything was very easy and safe (Phil and Nikki have clearly addressed COVID safety with the seriousness it deserves). The car was wonderful, a million miles from some other rather tatty and under-maintained classics I've rented over the years. A special mention to the guide to villages and eateries that are supplied in a handy folder, it's superb. Highly recommended.

My second time around with Vintage Classics - first in 2008 with my father and second June 2021 to commemorate the first anniversary of his passing. Hired the beautiful 1972 Alfa 2000 GTV which is in incredible condition for its 49 years and was running just as well as it had the first time round. Cars like this really take you back in time to happier simpler times, are huge fun to drive and draw lots of envious looks and conversation from admirers. Owners Phil and Nikki are genuine enthusiasts who'll thoroughly brief you on their cars before you head out and how best to handle them, they also provide lots of ideas for places to go and roads to drive. Very friendly and very understanding when you return their car full of enthusiasm but also regret that you have to hand it back. Thoroughly recommended !

What a fantastic experience. We arrived and were greeted in a very friendly fashion. We went through the paperwork very quickly and discussed in detail a route that proved to be absolutely the best btw it was the Wiltshire tasting route. Then we were introduced to the Austin Healy 3000. The briefing was very thorough, with no stone left unturned. It all took about 30 minutes, however this was time well spent. We then spent the rest of the day with smiles from ear to ear, driving down the fantastic back roads of Wiltshire, and discovering incredible villages. We stopped off in Combes Castle for a quick bite to eat, where the car attracted an immense amount of attention, where someone asked me if I had renovated it….. I told the truth and advised her ,” no someone else had done it……” she didn’t need to know it was only mine for a day…. the car also featured in a young couples wedding photos and they were super excited that it appeared just at the right time. This whole experience was fantastic, made all the better as my wife, who was with me, is now very keen to purchase our own BJ8….

Thanks so much for your review and lovely comments. So happy you had such a brilliant time with the car and enjoyed the taste trail – it does have some great driving roads. The Healey does get many admiring glances and is always a conversation starter.
Thanks again for your kind words and if you can’t find a Healey to purchase do come and visit us again – all the fun without the cost of ownership!
