Nowhere near Devon, but if you fancy a weekend up North you could try https://www.caledonianclassics.co.uk/our-cars.asp

Have used them in the past and they were great to deal with and can offer accommodation and suggested routes.

Good luck finding one in Devon

I hired one in Yorkshire for my 60th birthday and thoroughly enjoyed the experience

My Dad had two of them when I was young.

They seemed a lot faster then

Hmmm you see my problem - nearest is about 400 miles away.
I'm surprised because there used to be one down here but apparently closed down years ago!
I'm not one to give up and no, a Panda doesn't quite do it !

I hired a Stag from Vintage Classics in Wiltshire a few years ago. They also have a Healey.

No problems with the Stag. We hired it for my parents' golden wedding anniversary as they'd had a couple new.

There's loads of interesting cars on there, but also some utter dross, who's going to rent a 2001 MINI for £450 per day, bonkers!

We hired their Stag about 12 years ago for a long weekend. Lovely car to drive.
