Guests staying at Cowdray’s holiday accommodation can now explore the South Downs behind the wheel of a classic car through a new partnership with a Midhurst-based hire company.

Paddock Prestige, which specialises in self-drive classic and vintage vehicles, has teamed up with the Cowdray Estate to offer visitors the chance to hire a Porsche 356 Speedster or a classic Land Rover Series III for a day during their stay.

The vehicles are delivered and collected directly from Cowdray’s holiday accommodation, allowing guests to combine a countryside break with a classic motoring experience.

The partnership gives visitors the chance to explore routes across the South Downs National Park, nearby towns and villages, or the wider Cowdray Estate in a distinctive way.

Lewis Harrison, director of Paddock Prestige, said: “We are delighted to partner with Cowdray and to be able to provide guests staying on the Estate a chance to add classic car adventures to their countryside getaway.”

Based near Midhurst, Paddock Prestige offers a range of classic and vintage vehicles for self-drive hire.
