You Don't Need a Time Machine to Travel Back in Time!

Its really good fun to observe the unspoilt Scottish countryside behind the wheel of a pedigree vintage sports car. Only a few people can have the privilege of owning one of these lovely cars, but just about anyone can hire one.

I have often thought about buying a pre-war convertible sports car and travelled to the Scottish borders where I managed to hire the sweetest little MG J2 as a treat for myself and a surprise for my wife, and surprised she was! the smile never left her lips as we took to the Scottish hills.
Built in 1933 the MG immediately took us back to the romance of the early days of motoring. I grew up with tales from my Father, stories of everyday driving that was always a pleasure. The car was a part of the family, its own character and idiosyncrasies. Motorist of these early days would undertake adventurous journeys, they weren't put off by a tricky clutch or feeling a few bumps in the road and my trip up to wanlockhead, Scotlands highest village, took us back to those pioneering days where there were only a handfull of cars on the road. If you were kind to the car then it was kind to you.

It is possible to travel back in time and enjoy the adventure that motoring was all about. Even the best modern car does not have the soul of this MG, yes they can have problems, but that's the beauty of just hiring one, all the fun and none of the responsibility.
