 A North Yorkshire woman has decided to celebrate her love of fast cars by giving others the opportunity to share in her passion – she’s offering her prized collection to the general public for hire!

 

 

Classic car enthusiast Niki Garnett-White of Bolton near Fangfoss has recently turned her hobby into her job with the launch of her new company Classic Car Hire Yorkshire. Niki’s enviable collection of British, European and American cars includes a Corvette Stingray, a Triumph TR6, a Porsche 928 and an Alpha Romeo Spyder – and they’re all available for self-drive hire. Since starting the business less than a month ago Niki has already received a flood of enquiries from drivers keen to experience the thrill of driving a classic sports car.

 

Niki explains “Many of our bookings are from visitors to our area who want to tour the beautiful Yorkshire countryside in an equally beautiful car. Couples are also booking sports cars as wedding day transport for the groom and best man – there’s no reason why they shouldn’t arrive in style as well as the bride! We’ve also taken bookings from people who are considering buying a classic car of their own, but would like to try one out first. And in these credit-crunching times, hiring a classic car for the day is much more cost-effective than buying and maintaining one yourself.” Classic Car Hire Yorkshire can deliver cars directly to homes or hotels and also offers customers advice on where to stay and visit throughout Yorkshire.

 

“It gives me great pleasure to allow people the chance to fulfil the dream of driving their own classic sports car, even if it’s just for a day” says Niki. “And for those who want style but not necessarily speed, I also have a gorgeous Bentley Eight or even a Morris Minor convertible for the complete Heartbeat experience!
