Heritage centre could be fun for classic car insurance policyholders

Classic car fans could have a great day out when the Vauxhall Heritage Centre opens on April 26th.

A "family fun day" is the theme for the venue and activities will include a racing simulator and autojumble.

It could be useful for antique car insurance policyholders looking to find parts or spares - although official Vauxhall merchandise will also be on sale.

The racing simulator lets enthusiasts experience a British Touring Car, but for those who just want to browse, there will be more than 50 Griffin-badged vehicles on display, ranging from the Lotus Carlton to the oldest 1903 model.

Entry is free and parking is available. Visitors who arrive in "old or interesting transport" will be allowed to pull up at a special area in front of the heritage centre.

Meanwhile, last month saw Vauxhall announce that shoe designer Jonathan Kelsey has created a leather driving set for the brand.

This includes studded gold gloves and a black and brown steering wheel cover.
