A really enjoyable visit to the Haynes Museum with my friend John. The collection is very well laid out and it is easy to get close to the exhibits. I did break the rule of no touching once as I tweaked the throttle linkage of a V12 Ferrari and it was mesmerising to see all the rods moving in unison. If you don’t do that, are you really a petrolhead? (I blame my Dad as he would have done the same, although he would probably have adjusted them to work better!). Friendly staff, a good café and a well stocked shop, I am not sure how it could be improved.

Difficult to identify a take home car. If we had a rule that the monetary value was irrelevant and it was just the driving pleasure, I’d take the Austin Allegro…only joking, it would be the Jaguar D-Type
