CELEBRATE BIRTHDAYS & OCCASIONS
You don't need an excuse to drive a stylish classic car, but if you - or someone you know - have a birthday, anniversary or occasion to celebrate then a classic car can create a really memorable day.
Great Escape has the widest range of classic cars to hire in the UK and we're adding to our fleet all the time. We operate from 3 UK bases in Suffolk, Worcestershire and Dorset.

Our gift voucher packs are generally despatched next day - and we can even send them in unmarked envelopes to keep the gift a surprise to the last minute.
Our range of cars suit all interests. You can potter along Cotswold lanes in our relaxing 1957 Morris Minor Traveller 1000 with a picnic on the back seat. Or drop the top on one of three convertibles – Jaguar XJS, Jaguar E Type or Alfa Romeo Spider – and enjoy the country breeze. Or just sit back and luxuriate in our Jensen Interceptor grand tourer. Alternatively, celebrate with friends in our luxurious 1974 Jaguar XJ6 long wheelbase saloon or 1965 Jaguar Mk2 3.8 saloon.
Our market-leading hire package gives you 24 hours use for every day you hire and unlimited mileage – so they can get the most out of the experience. We also include carbon offsetting, insurance, breakdown cover, parking for your own car (while you use ours) and even a framed A4 print of the car as a souvenir.

Alfa Romeo Spider
Made famous by Dustin Hoffman in The Graduate and built by one of the most evocative names in motoring, the Alfa Romeo Spider is the choice for romantics or petrolheads. Combining beautiful burgundy metallic paintwork with a tan Alcantara interior, the 5-speed manual gearbox Alfa is easy to drive and hugely enjoyable.
Jaguar XJS V12 Convertible
Our Jaguar XJS is fitted with every conceivable luxury extra, including heated seats, cruise control, power hood and air conditioning, all of which help make this one of the most relaxing cars we’ve ever driven. Slot the automatic gearbox into drive and waft down the roads. Like the Alfa it’s very easy to drive.
Jensen Interceptor Coupe
The Jensen Interceptor was the car of choice for jet-set seventies go-getters. It’s 7.2 litre V8 engine is powerful but docile and this car just cruises along amidst a sea of admiring glances.
Morris Minor Traveller
Enjoy a quieter pace of life with the Morris Minor Traveller. You can’t help but relax and smile in this time-warp classic. It’s perfect for trundling along Cotswold lanes. Stop for lunch, fling open the back doors, sit on the back with a picnic and admire the view.
Jaguar XJ6 Long Wheelbase Saloon
Celebrate with friends in our luxurious 1974 Jaguar XJ6 saloon. Enjoy smooth, silent progress en route to a great night out - or a day in the countryside.
Jaguar E Type V12 Convertible
The Jaguar E Type is the most popular classic car of all time, regularly topping polls, and the V12 convertible is the ultimate version. Cotswolds or the Cote D’Azure, every trip in our EType is a special occasion.
30th, 40th, 50th, 60th, 70th, Birthday
We've got classic cars to suit all ages of big birthday from the 1950s to the 1990s. And whichever car you choose, we'll work with you to make sure you keep the surprise a real surprise and whoever you're giving the gift to gets the most out of a classic car hire experience. Click here for prices, location and hire package. You can buy your gift online as a package or gift voucher.
To help keep the surprise secret we'll post the gift voucher pack to you in a plain brown envelope. And when they come to pick up the car we can also arrange to hide the car from view right until the the very last moment. Whatever you want to do, we'll work hard to help you realise it - in fact we enjoy a bit of subterfuge for fun. We've hidden friends and relatives for big 'jump out' surprises and we've delivered cars to hotels in the dead of night. So if you've got an idea for a big surprise, put us to the test.
Wedding Anniversary
Paper, cotton, leather, silk, steel, whatever wedding anniversary you're celebrating - or want to help someone celebrate - we'll help. Our classic cars are very popular for weddings so it make sense that they'll also work for wedding anniversaries. We hire cars for lots of anniversaries and with our unique recommendations on places to stay, visit and eat we can help you make a complete occasion with classic car hire.
