A Classic English Motoring Experience

To complement our signature Cotswold stays, guests booking with Luxury Cotswold Rentals or Luxury Rural Retreats are invited to enjoy an extraordinary English experience: the exclusive opportunity to rent one of our impeccably maintained 1960s classic British motor cars.

Choose from:

• The 1963 Bentley S3 – with or without a private chauffeur

• The 1968 Jaguar E-Type Series 1.5 2+2 – iconic, exhilarating, unforgettable

Both vehicles are available in proud partnership with our friends at The Classic Motor Hub, beautifully nestled near Bibury – on a former Battle of Britain Spitfire base - in the very heart of the Classic Cotswolds.

Each car is delivered with thoughtfully curated touches:

• A pair of Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses (non-prescription, pairable, and transition-lens equipped), allowing you to effortlessly record and relive your journey

• A folding picnic table with four stools

• Picnic blanket(s), two traditional shooting sticks, a gentleman's golf umbrella

• And, for the Jaguar, four pairs of Signal Red leather driving gloves – tailored to fit all hands

Guests can also explore handpicked scenic routes throughout the region, complete with turn-by-turn directions via our bespoke driving app – a digital companion to your analog adventure.

Vehicles may be collected directly from The Classic Motor Hub following a personalised induction, delivered to your door by trailer, or – for the full experience – you may be chauffeured to the Hub in style.

Available exclusively from April to October, our classic car experiences are designed for the finest months in the Cotswolds – when the roads are open, the skies are clear, and the countryside is at its most breathtaking.

"Creating a Classic English Motoring Experience felt like a natural evolution for us—something beautifully in step with what our guests already enjoy: time spent in one of our characterful cottages or magnificent manors. It's an invitation to explore the rolling countryside not simply as a visitor, but in timeless British style. But, of course, it had to be more than just exquisite classic cars and the superb service of our friends at The Classic Motor Hub. It had to reflect the same considered elegance and attention to detail that defines every Luxury Cotswold Rentals' experience. So, each car is thoughtfully outfitted—not just with curated period picnic sets and soft woollen throws, but also with a pair of Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses with transition lenses, allowing guests to effortlessly capture, share, and relive their driving adventure in real time." Nigel Stengard-Green, Founder.

This Classic English Motoring Experience is one of a number of experiences we can offer our clients when they stay with us, helping create truely memorable moments.
