Derbyshire motoring attraction the Great British Car Journey is celebrating reaching its fifth anniversary.

To mark the landmark, founder Richard Usher took us on a guided tour of the museum at Ambergate – and explained his love for the cars that, although produced in the millions, have now vanished from our roads.

The museum features over 150 carefully selected cars from the Austin Seven to the Metro and beyond, with the chance to get behind the wheel through the unique classic car driving experience Drive Dad’s Car.
