The mix of cars is also interesting - Austin, Morris and Ford saloons share the spookily clean and empty roads with relatively rare and exotic MGs and Morgans. And from the perspective of a 21st century motorist, it looks like driving heaven. The roads are roomy and well-sighted, with far fewer road signs cluttering the view, while the towns and villages - now mostly bypassed - you travel through on the route north are pretty, charming and offer plentiful stopping points.
