After careful work to return the car to its former condition, it has now been reunited with its owner and is back on the road where it belongs.

A long Bank Holiday weekend always brings the same feeling.

Clearer roads.
Slower mornings.
More time to drive for the sake of driving.

The early starts, the cross-country runs, the late evening detours that somehow turn into your favourite part of the day.

The kind of weekends where the destination matters a little less than the road that gets you there.

That’s what makes the GD range so rewarding to live with.

Comfortable enough to cover serious miles, engaging enough to come alive when the road begins to open up, every GD is built to adapt to the way you drive and the kind of weekend you want from it.

So if you had the pick of the lineup this Bank Holiday weekend… which one are you taking the keys to?
