Wheelbase: The £50 Fortnight

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Gordon Wilkins covers the world of holiday motoring.

How far can family motorists drive this summer within the £50 foreign travel limit? Does the extra £25 car allowance cover petrol, oil, and running repairs on the road to the Mediterranean? Are the most distant resorts too expensive this year for the British? Wheelbase takes the new car ferry Patricia from Southampton to Bilbao to investigate the shortest -and cheapest-drive to the sun in the south of Spain.
