Hastings and the surrounding 1066 Country provide an outstanding setting for vintage motoring. The medieval streets of the Old Town, the Norman ruins of Hastings Castle, Battle Abbey and the cobbled lanes of Rye form a backdrop that complements classic cars in a way that few locations can match. Our vintage fleet spans the 1930s to the 1970s, with each vehicle maintained to concours standard and available for weddings, events, tours and photoshoots across East Sussex.
Our vintage fleet includes the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud (from £895/day), offering stately presence and a whispering straight-six engine that suits the leisurely pace of 1066 Country lanes. The Jaguar E-Type (from £750/day) — described by Enzo Ferrari as the most beautiful car ever made — is equally at home on the seafront and the High Weald B-roads. The Aston Martin DB5 (from £1,200/day) carries unmistakable cinematic associations and draws attention wherever it goes. The Jaguar Mk II (from £595/day) offers classic British saloon motoring, while the MG B Roadster (from £395/day) provides open-top simplicity for summer drives along the coast. The Daimler V8 (from £495/day) offers understated 1960s luxury for those who prefer quiet distinction.
Hastings Old Town has barely changed in centuries. The timber-framed buildings, narrow lanes and the Stade fishing quarter create a visual environment where a vintage Jaguar or Rolls-Royce looks entirely at home. Battle Abbey, six miles north, adds medieval grandeur. Rye's cobbled streets and medieval Landgate complete the picture.
Vintage cars are best enjoyed at moderate speeds on quiet roads — precisely what East Sussex offers in abundance. The B-roads through Sedlescombe, Bodiam and Northiam wind through hop gardens and oast houses, rarely exceeding 40 mph. The A259 coast road to Winchelsea and Rye provides open views at a pace that suits a Silver Cloud or E-Type.
Every vintage vehicle in our fleet is maintained by marque specialists. We carry out a full inspection before every hire, with particular attention to weather-sensitive components. A roadside support number is provided, and our team can reach any East Sussex location within 45 minutes.
