A CLASSIC CAR hire company has recently opened its doors near Exeter to provide enthusiasts with the opportunity to sample the thrill-of-motoring from behind the wheel of a period classic car.

Great Escape Cars decided to extend its classic car hire interests to Exeter following the success of its main sites in Yorkshire and the Cotswolds, and a network of smaller sites spread throughout the UK. The company operates a fleet of 60 classic hire cars from nine sites in Britain, with the Devon site being conveniently located to provide easy access from the M5.

To launch the new site, Great Escape has invested in a range of popular classic cars, including a Jaguar Mk2, MGB, E Type Jaguar and Morris Minor. The company plans to extend the fleet once the Exeter branch is established, as it has already done with its other UK sites.

Great Escape has recruited local man Steve Day to run the Exeter site. Steve is a leading light in the local Crash Box & Classic Car Club and his local knowledge has already helped the company develop its website.

Graham Eason, chairman of Great Escape said:

"Classic car hire is a growing market because more and more people are realising that it adds a new dimension to their holiday or is a much simpler alternative to owning a classic car themselves.

"Devon is the obvious place for us to set up a new site because it is such a popular holiday destination.

He added: "We want to be make a positive contribution to the region and will be offering customers driving routes as well as short break packages across Devon and Cornwall involving accommodation and a guide to places to visit."

The company's classic cars can be hired by the day, weekend or week for customers to celebrate special occasions, weddings or add an extra dimension to their holiday in the westcountry.
