Take it for a spin

[baconsarney]

Who first coined that expression i wonder

[Lotobear]

Probably Terry Thomas or Leslie Philips I should imagine

[braddo]

Is the full phrase to take it for a spin around the block?

I’m going to guess this first started at a race circuit - take it for a spin old boy etc etc

[av185]

Apparantly it all started in Greece when Zorba the Greek saw the first plate.....

[ruhall]

An early 911 Turbo salesman (would have been a chap in those days)?.
