Normally UK Magnette owners would be encouraged to take their cars out on 26th April and join other classic enthusiasts for national 'Drive it Day'. This year of course we must all avoid non-essential journeys and stay at home, so the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs (FBHVC) is asking instead that you post photo memories of previous drive-it days either on social media (#DriveitDayMemories) or on their website driveitday.co.uk
