Customer Reviews

"I had my own Midget some 40 years ago.

​

Having a day out in the MG Midget, scooting round country roads, roof down in the glorious sunshine brought back many great memories.

​

What a brilliant little car.

​

Thanks to Peter at Cherished Roadsters for making sure that our the day went smoothly."

"Peter Barton is a magician!
He may not have invented a time machine, but he does possess a number of cars which can transport you back to your long-lost youth. As a birthday surprise, my wife arranged for me to have a day driving Peter’s MGB GT, the car I had as a young man – and what a thrill it was! The car was immaculate; it was like meeting up with a former lover and finding only one of us had grown older!

 

We drove all day through the beautiful countryside of Hampshire and Sussex, seeing many of the sights I’d known as a child growing up in the area. It was a wonderful way to wander down memory lane, once again in the driving seat of an MGB GT."

"The car was sublime and ran perfectly.

​

Peter’s guidance, beforehand and on the day, was clear and helpful.

​

Peter (as well as the car!) really went the extra mile to make our weekend special – even providing a CD selection of 60s hits to get us in the retro zone.

​

We didn’t stop smiling the whole weekend. Thanks so much, Peter. We’ll be back!"

  • Do you have any convertible classic cars in your fleet?
    Yes we have both the MG Roadster and MG Midget with soft tops. Both are great on a day out in the sunshine. We also have our two MGFs, more modern classics which are fun and sporty to drive!
  • Can I hire more than one car with a group of friends
    Yes! We often have groups of friends hire 2 or 3 cars so you have a chance to drive multiple vehicles in one day. Each additional driver will need to pay the second driver insurance fee.
  • Can we add an additional driver to the insurance?
    Yes, an additional driver can be added to the insurance for around £40. They will also have to provide all the information required for the insurance.

You might be keen to visit Goodwood - home of the Revival Classic Car event, only 35 mins from our base.

Also keep an eye on our blog for some of our best ideas.
