YOU CAN MEET THE CARS!

Sadly not happening this year due to COVID-19, the Heartbeat Rally is normally held at Goathland in September, featuring cars from the series.

It’s organised by Alan Coleman, owner of the B-registered (actually 1978) Mini Van from the series, who, with the owner of Aidensfield Stores, contacted other people with ex- Heartbeat cars. The first event took place in 2010. For updates check out Heartbeat Vehicle Owners’ Group on Facebook.

Also, the Isetta owned in the series by barmaid Gina is currently part of National Motor Museum Beaulieu’s On-Screen Cars.
