Drive it Day 2024 saw us taking a trip through the Cotswolds to the Classic Motor Hub near Bibury to see lots of MGBs and some fantastic other cars including Bodie’s Ford Capri from “The Professionals” TV show, and cars raced by Stirling Moss and the legendary Juan Manuel Fangio.
We also found time to chat with the founder and owner of the Classic Motor Hub, and even an Aston Martin DB5 owner that is desperate to find his old MGB and buy it back!

When I was a kid, my dad had a Saab Sonnet and we went to a Saab event like this… good times! Love that green MGB

Thanks for your comment - the Classic Motor Hub is well worth a visit - we didn't have time to do everything whilst filming so will definitely be going back - nice atmosphere, pleasant staff - great place!

What do you mean, "did I enjoy the video?" Of course, I bloody well loved it. Seriously Graham, another outstanding look at classic car life in England. I hope you are aware of how fortunate you all are to be surrounded by such locations and events. Sure we have shows in our area as well but this is on a whole next level, fantastic. I am tempted to book the next flight over.

Hi there, I’m in Australia and we went to Arlington Row last September. Did not know about the Classic Motor Hub. Was wondering why I saw some really cool classic cars and bikes in the area. I have a 70’ BGT, far from standard. Love your vids, keep ‘Em rolling on.

Great channel. Love it. Even though I own a 1972 Turquoise Aqua blue MGB here in Sydney, I couldn't help seeing and admiring the Lancia Montecarlo's in the background.. one of my favourite cars of all time!

Ah - you a bit too far away - I have just last week bought a BGT, 1972, in the rare Aqua. Lots of character, hope you enjoy yours as much as I'm learning to enjoy mine!

Thanks for your comment - Yes the Lancia Monte Carlos were lovely - around 8 of them IIRC!

You're a lucky boy! I've got two daughters & neither would ever consider getting into the '72 roadster with their old man.

A superb video, absolutely first class. I have just subscribed. Your video format looks to be very similar to mine so I can appreciate the effort you have clearly put into producing this one. I actually had a drive in an rubber bumper MGB GT at the Great British car journey a few years ago. I found the driving position to be a little uncomfortable but despite that I would still really like one, they have a certain charm and my son who is learning to drive has his heart set on a GT. With great parts availability and being such a usable car they make for the perfect classic.

@@ClassicMGB Thanks. I actually covered an MG event about a year ago here in Yorkshire so you may find that of interest. Obviously I've filmed a few other stuff since then too. 😅

When the manufacturer is good enough to put your name on the badge, it beats a private plate so Clive should really buy an Austin Healey :-) And yes, I bought a car with my name on the badge, although I can't run to one of those fabulous DB4 or 5 models :-( Great video as usual, been following you since I saw you recording at MG100 at Gaydon last year, and really must make a plan to get together to feature the story of the O Series engines in the MGB.

Thanks for your comment - Yes, Clive has a few cars I think as well as the Aston! Would love to do something on the O-series engine in the MGB!
