Six years ago we launched Classic Car Tours International with a car tour of England's Lake District and also a car tour of Western Scotland followed by our first overseas touring holiday for classic and sports cars in the Pyrenees visiting both Spain and France. We also for the first time organised a touring holiday to watch the classic car races at Angouleme's Circuit des Remparts in South West France.

In 2007 we are planning five car touring holidays in France one in the Spanish Pyrenees and a tour through 7 European countries.Our UK tours feature four car tours in England and one each in Scotland, Ireland and Wales.

Over 75% of our original clients are still with us and since our first car tour we have delighted hundreds of other classic car and sports car enthusiasts many of whom have also become regulars as well as friends.
