I felt as though I had travelled back in time when I exited my front door. I was prepared to take on the day because I was dressed in my favourite vintage clothing and my reliable winter coat. But the pièce de résistance of my ensemble was my most recent purchase from renowned shoemakers Russell & Bromley. The Keeble Tassel Loafer is a work of art in and of itself, expertly made in a workshop on the east coast of Italy.

Even your start and end points can be customised to your preferences; why not end your vintage car experience in Siena instead, just in time for dinner and a well-earned glass of Orcia DOC wine in the city's famed Campo? Visit the Siena Cathedral before dining at Taverna di San Giuseppe, which serves straightforward Siennese food in a former Etruscan cellar.
