Retro Rides of Norfolk

Retro Rides of Norfolk is a family-run classic car hire business based in Long Stratton, offering self-drive and chauffeur packages, wedding cars, picnic add-ons and gift vouchers. Vehicles are maintained for events, luxury breaks and short tours across Norfolk.

Pickup and collection take place from their Tharston Industrial Estate unit on Wellesley Road, Long Stratton. The company highlights sustainability measures (a tree planted per hire) and is listed by the Historic Classic-car Hirer’s Guild as Norfolk’s self-drive classic provider.

A short introduction to the experience: expect hands-on access to restored classic cars with options to drive yourself or book a chauffeur. Vehicles are prepared for events and short leisure drives rather than long-distance touring.

Look out for:

• A small, curated fleet of classic cars suited to weddings, picnics and short road trips.

• Options for self-drive hire, chauffeur service, picnic packages and gift vouchers.

• Pickup/collection from Unit 2, Tharston Industrial Estate, Wellesley Road, Long Stratton (confirm exact collection point when booking).

• A tree-planting pledge via Treeapp to offset hire CO2.

Best way to experience it: Book in advance, confirm vehicle suitability for your route or event, and choose the picnic or chauffeur add-on if you prefer a hands-off experience. Contact the team by phone or email listed on their site to arrange collection and any itinerary details.

• Collection and return are from their Long Stratton unit; confirm directions with the operator.

• Bookings and vehicle availability are limited; reserve well ahead for weddings or weekend dates.

• Confirm driver requirements and insurance cover for self-drive hires when you book.

• The company plants a tree per hire as a sustainability pledge.
