Welcome to Old Classic Car.
OCC contains a wealth of information relating to classic cars, from the veteran and vintage eras right through to the modern classics of the 1970s, plus memorabilia that relates to them.
|
Initially a small site based in the UK, over the years Old Classic Car has grown to include a wide variety of articles, photographs and nostalgia relating to the history of motoring in all its forms. Motorcycles and commercial vehicles of yesteryear also feature. For tips on restoration, please take a look at the forum.

Most recent parts ad ... 22 May 2017 ... Mercedes Benz 280CE
Help!
I recently had a PC crash and lost many emails, including those from people sending me photos to use on the site. If you sent me photographs, perhaps of vehicles once owned by your family, with the idea of them being added to the site, please get in touch again. There were many really interesting photos on file.
How to use e Bay when looking for car-related items.
For advice on how to get registered and use online auctions for finding parts to aid a restoration project, I've written a brief ebay tutorial on how to get started - worth a read if you've not had a go at searching for your chosen vehicle on there as yet. Used in conjunction with traditional autojumbles it can really help with finding rare items.
Online Autojumble!! Free Parts Ads.
This site has a substantial parts, or "autojumble", section. If you have old bits cluttering up your garage, why not pop a mention on the relevant page(s) within the classic car parts section? The latest ad, placed 22 May 2017, is on the Mercedes Benz 280CE page. You can also view all ads for a given make. Enthusiasts of motorcycles, tractors, vans and lorries haven't been forgotten either, with sections for those also.
Your motors.
I'm interested in featuring stories about the cherished machines that belong to readers of this site - please email me your vintage car story, and preferably a few photographs too, whether yours is on the road yet or in the middle of an epic rebuild. Memories of driving in days gone by, say in the 1960s or before, are also very welcome as they can make for a great read.
My oldies.
In 1987 I passed my driving test in a Mk1 A40, bought new by my great aunt and uncle in 1960. The car is still here, but needs plenty of tlc now. It shares garage space with a Dodge car built in 1924, a truck of the same manufacture from 1940, and a pre-war Morris.
Photographs.
There are several categories of photographs, including recent shots of vehicles on display at shows and race meetings. There is also an extensive gallery of vintage images, all with a motoring theme to them.
