Kids make their Great Escape

The Great Escape Classic Car Hire Morris Minor Convertible based in Yorkshire was recently chosen by a major high street brand to help promote its new range of childrens clothing.
The red Great Escape Morris Minor was specifically chosen because the colour works well on camera and the car has a fun and cheeky image, in keeping with the style of photography.

Great Escape Classic Car Hire worked with the supermarket chain's agency to provide the car at very short notice. We trailered the car to London, provided a driver throughout the day to support the photoshoot and ensured the vehicle was immaculate throughout the day.
Great Escape Classic Car Hire works with many major brands to provide cars for photoshoots, TV, video shoots and film productions. Our experience means we have learnt the small touches that enable film shoots with cars to run smoothly.

Jaguar E Type versus Morris Minor Traveller

Great Escape Classic Car Hire has created the perfect antidote for classic enthusiasts pressurised by the credit crunch. Its new Tortoise and Hare Weekend package is designed to let customers vent their frustration in the company’s rapid Jaguar E Type V12 roadster, then spend a day relaxing and taking in the scenery in its sedate 1957 Morris Minor Traveller.

From Great Escape’s base on the edge of the Cotswolds customers can head in any direction and enjoy some great driving roads in Wales, Shropshire, Worcestershire, Gloucestershire and Warwickshire. The Tortoise and Hare package includes 24 hours use of each car, unlimited mileage and free delivery and collection to local hotels. The package costs a remarkably stress-free £390. Readers can claim £25 off the cost when they quote ‘Tortoise’ when booking.

The Great Escape E Type is a 1972 Series 3 5.3 litre V12 roadster in Old English White with black leather interior. The Morris is an unrestored one-family-since-new car fitted with the 1000 cc engine and features very rare Dark Green paint, which was only used for a few years.

The Tortoise and Hare Weekend brings together two of Great Escape’s four new cars. Alongside the E Type and Morris, Great Escape has added a metallic blue Jaguar XJS V12 convertible and a Sable 1974 Jaguar XJ6 long wheelbase. Great Escape also has an Alfa Romeo Spider and Jensen Interceptor available for hire.

The credit crunch has become a media obsession and inevitably it’s getting people down. This package is our contribution to making it all a little easier to bear.

There really can’t be a much better way to get away from it all than driving a great car on a great road in the sunshine in the Cotswolds. By bringing these two cars together we’re hoping to create a few smiles.

Relax and de-stress with a weekend in the Cotswolds

When the news is filled with credit crunches and sub-prime mortgages, we all need to destress. We’ve found a new way to relax that doesn’t involve foot spas, face packs or hill walking. Take to the wheel of a Morris Minor Traveller from http://www.greatescapecars.co.uk/ and discover what it really means to sit back, relax and enjoy the scenery.

With a top speed of just 60 miles per hour and the sort of acceleration that keeps cyclists waiting, the cute Morris is the perfect addition to a relaxing, romantic weekend away. Great Escape can even provide gourmet picnic hampers and interesting route plans to help you get away from it all. From Great Escape’s site you can head for the Cotswolds, Wales, Shropshire, Worcestershire or Warwickshire. Great Escape can even recommend luxury boutique B&Bs and hotels.

The Morris costs £135 per day to hire. The price includes 24 hours use, unlimited mileage, insurance, a full information pack and carbon offsetting. It is the only one of its type to hire in Europe and one of only two in the world. Great Escape also has two Morris Minor Convertibles for hire.

The Morris guarantees relaxation and smiles because it’s so slow it forces you to take life at a slower pace. Just cruise along, enjoy the scenery, find a quiet spot and throw out the picnic rug. What could be more better on a summer’s day?

Great Escape has sites in Worcestershire, Dorset and Suffolk and has over 30 cars for self drive hire. Alongside the Morris, Great Escape has classic and sports cars for hire including Jensen Interceptors, Jaguar XJS convertible, Alfa Romeo Spider, Jaguar E Type roadster and 2+2, Porsche 928, Jaguar Mk2, Rolls Royce Silver Spirit and 1974 Jaguar XJ6 long wheelbase saloon.
