Save £64 on Jaguar Mk2 hire until 26th November



Great Escape Classic Car Hire is continuing its 12 Gifts of Christmas special offers with great deals on Morris Minor and Jaguar Mk2.  Whether you're planning a wedding or looking for a special Christmas gift, these low price deals may be for you.  But hurry - they're only available until 26th November and then they're gone.
For Week 2 of our 12 Gifts of Christmas special offers we've knocked £64 off the price of hiring a Jaguar Mk2 - now just £165 - and £35 off the price of hiring a Morris Minor Convertible.  That's a nearly 30% saving on the normal hire price.  And you get the same all-in package - unlimited mileage, comprehensive insurance, full 24 hours use and nationwide breakdown cover.  We've cut the price but not the corners.
This special low price applies to all bookings and gift vouchers bought for these cars by 26th November.  To secure the low price just call  01527 893733.  You don't need to use the car by 26th November or even choose dates when you book - you can choose dates any time in the next 12 months and still receive this low price.
The latest 12 Gifts of Christmas special offer applies to Jaguar Mk2s and Morris Minors on the Cotswolds, Yorkshire and Devon fleets.  You can choose to buy one day at this price or multiple days - there's no limit.
"Christmas is a time of giving - and these are our best ever offers on these cars," explains Graham Eason of Great Escape.  "These cars are popular as self drive wedding cars, so whether you are looking to book a car for your big day or just a day out, hopefully these low prices will help you out."

7 days & 500 miles round England in a Morris Minor Traveller


Here at Great Escape Classic Car Hire we work hard to make our classic hire cars reliable so when our 1957 Morris Minor Traveller was booked for a 7 day tour of England, we were up for the challenge.
The Morris was booked by Nicola Beauman of specialist publishing house Persephone Books for a book tour to celebrate the publication of the company's 100th book.  Persephone reprints books from the interwar years so the Morris Minor was perfect for the tour of book shops and reading groups throughout Wales, Shropshire, Herefordshire and Somerset.
You can read about the Morris Minor's trip here on the Persephone Books blog.
The Morris Minor Traveller covered 500 miles on the tour, performing faultlessly during the 7 day trip and receiving rave reviews wherever it went.  The car will shortly feature in an article in The Observer colour supplement.  The Great Escape car is a 1957 Morris Minor Traveller 1000 finished in rare dark green with olive leather interior.  It is 'Delux' specification so features a heater, which was normally an optional extra.  The car has been in the same Birmingham family since new.
Great Escape Classic Car Hire has the largest fleet of Morris Minors for hire in the UK, including Morris Minor Convertibles and Travellers.  You can find out more by visiting http://www.greatescapecars.co.uk or call 01527 893733.  Prices start at just £95 for 24 hours.

Morris Minor

Today the Morris Minor and 1000 are among the best served classic family-sized cars in the old vehicle movement and continue to gain popularity. The enduring affection for the "Moggie" (also a common British nickname for an undistinguished cat, or a Morgan) or "Morrie" (as it is often known in Australia and New Zealand) is reflected in the number of restored and improved Morris Minors currently running in Britain, Australasia and in India. In addition to more powerful engines, desirable improvements necessitated by the increase in traffic density since the Minor was withdrawn from volume production include the replacement of the original equipment drum brakes with discs. Other important upgrades include the 1,275 cc (77.8 cu in) version of the A-series engine, derided by Morris Marina enthusiasts as a key reason why many Marinas were scrapped. Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson once stated that the Morris Minor is Britain's Volkswagen Beetle.

The Morris Minor Cars was again updated in 1956, when the engine is in capacity to 948 cc (57.9 cu in) increases. The division into two parts windscreen has increased with a curve of a piece and the rear window was replaced. In 1961 trafficators by more modern style lights flashing direction indicators have replaced and then the norm for the UK market. A luxury car on the lower floor, but with higher BMC B series engine was sold as One-Point-Five/Wolseley Riley from 1500 to 1957: a version with additional rear fins, or variation of this Wolseley Riley was also in Australia as Morris Major manufactures.

In February 1961 the Morris Minor was the first British car to sell over 1,000,000 units. (In Italy, the Fiat 600 won his first million in the same month.) In order to achieve, limited edition of 350 two-door sedan was small with a distinctive purple color, and remember a white interior created. Even the badge on the hood has been changed to read "Minor 1,000,000" instead of the usual "Children 1000". The millionth the same child, the National Union of Journalists, where they planned to use as a prize in a competition for the benefit of the widow of the union and Orphan Fund. The company, which was at the same time, a minor celebrity in London's Great Ormond Street Hospital for Sick Children, but the car was built from cake.
