Daniel Goodenough, aged 17, is studying the Motor Vehicle City & Guilds 3901 Certificate in Basic Motor Vehicle Maintenance. He was one of a party of students and tutors who headed for Stondon Motor Museum, Bedfordshire and he shares the best aspects of the trip.
“I really enjoyed the trip and found it very interesting to see the differences in vehicles through all the different years of motoring history.
The most interesting thing was the different shapes of the early cars and then seeing how the shapes became more aerodynamic as times progressed. It was also fascinating to see how the old types of engine were very large but not very powerful and how different engines have been mounted in different areas of the vehicles.
On one car the engine was mounted on the front left wheel and the car was driven from there.”
