FOUNDERS BLOG: MAY 20TH 2021
Late Blog update!

Wow!  What a busy week!  Great British Car Journey has been fully road tested this week with a “friends and family day” on Tuesday and our Press Day yesterday, followed by more journalist visits today.

Hopefully, many of you will have seen the great coverage on BBC Breakfast yesterday with John Maguire really getting into the spirit of “The Journey” and what its all about. This resulted in much comment from Louise Minchin and Dan Walker who both owned Rover Metros!!!

The legend that is Bob Warman followed up for ITV with a great 3 minute piece on Central News last night.

Needless to say, the phones have been very busy and we have plenty of bookings for our first weekend  which is really pleasing after all the years of toil to get GBCJ on the road.

PLEASE remember that COVID is still out there so some queuing and delay will be inevitable to keep everyone safe but we are really looking forward to welcoming our first batches of guests. If you want to come this weekend, Sunday is less busy and has some capacity for more bookings. Those of you who are real car nuts are strongly advised to come on a weekday if possible .

The weather today has been really horrid but we were blessed with warm sunshine yesterday. The weekend is not looking great so an indoor attraction may be a good pick!!

Stay safe and I look forward to seeing you!

Richard Usher.
