The car scenes in the Italian Job are hard to beat in terms of being iconic. In this driving experience you’ll get to drive three historic vehicles; the famous blue bus, a classic Jaguar E-Type and a beautiful blue Mini cooper
You’ll also hop into the passenger seat of the Mini after taking them for a spin where the instructor will take the wheel and re-enact the famous stunt as they drive you into the back of the moving bus!
Buckle your seatbelts as this is going to be an experience you won’t forget!

Drivers should wear sensible shoes or trainers for driving and comfy trousers. Legs must be fully covered if you're driving certain cars, such as the Shelby Cobra or Mustang GT350 (as these cars have side exit exhausts that get very warm), the Caterham 7 and Ariel Atom.

What happens on the day?
We advise customers to book all vehicles onto the same time slot however if you have more than three cars to drive, please DO NOT book the last session of the day.
