Eccles has been over to the old airfield at Tockwith near York this morning as I had a driver experience driving these beauties, a 1970 Mini Cooper S and a 1966 Lotus Cortina

Loved it, I see why the original Mini has such a good reputation, and the Lotus was great as well. The first time I've driven a classic car.

[Dan302]

That mini looks lovely!
